The Multiregiional Continuity hypothesis supposes that

modern Homo sapiens first evolved in Africa and then spread to Asia and Europe, replacing archaic Homo sapiens populations

In Atapuerca 5, early archaic Homo sapiens and Neandertal specimens show heavy wear on the incisors and canines, indicating

their use for shaping the cutting edges of stone blades

The European archeological period that is marked by a great increase in technology and various kinds of art starting about 35,000 uBP is called the
