CENOZOIC: The most recent geological era in the Earth’s history, in which mammals came to dominate animal life. The Cenozoic runs from 66.4 million years ago to the present and began when Asia acquired its present appearance and mammals came to dominate animal life. The most important tectonic event in the Cenozoic history of Asia was its collision with India some 50 million years ago. This collision took place some 2100 km (1250 miles) farther south of the present location of the line of collision along the Indus–Brahmaputra suture behind the main range of the Himalayas. The Cenozoic includes the Tertiary and Quaternary periods.

The Neanderthals, known in folklore as “cavemen”, conducted much of their activities in the open landscape. According to the study published today in the journal Scientific Reports by an international team lead by Israeli researchers, Neanderthals in the Levant constituted a resilient population that survived successfully in caves and open landscapes 60,000 years ago, when dispersing modern humans reached the region.
Recentelijk deed een groep archeologen een bijzondere ontdekking in een gebied nabij Willensdorf in Oostenrijk. Er werden stenen gereedschappen ontdekt, die waarschijnlijk toebehoorden aan de Aurignacien-cultuur. Het oudste artefact uit deze cultuur stamde tot voor kort uit 40.000 v. Chr., met de vondst van deze stenen gereedschappen kan dit wellicht worden bijgesteld naar 43.500 v. Chr. Wat de vondst nog bijzonderder maakt, is dat de eerste moderne mensen deel uitmaakten van deze cultuur.

A distinctive method of stone toolmaking in which flakes are removed by percussion from a preshaped core, with little other modification. This prepared-core knapping technique allows the removal of large flakes of predetermined size and shape. The face of the core is trimmed to shape in order to control the form and size of the intended flake. Characteristically the preparatory flaking is directed from the periphery of the core towards the center. The residual core is shaped rather like a tortoise, with one face plane and the other domed, while the flake shows the scars of the preparatory work on one face and is plane on the other. It is named for Levallois- Perret, a suburb of Paris, where such artifacts were first discovered. The Levallois technique was known from the Acheulian period and was employed by certain late Lower Paleolithic hand-ax makers, and throughout the Middle Paleolithic by some Mousterian communities. It lasted into the Upper Paleolithic of the Levant, and in the Epi Levalloisian industries of Egypt.
