Modern Humans Arrived In Europe Earlier Than Previously Believed

I missed this paper when it was released. 

Discoveries at a rock-shelter in southern France put H. sapiens in Europe as early as 56,800 years ago, a new study finds. That’s around 10,000 years earlier than previously thought (SN: 5/11/20).
