Abstract
The article reports on the discovery of a molar and a handful of bone fragments, which is believed to belong to Homo sapiens human species, in a cave on the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria. Topics discussed include the re-excavation of the cave by a group of researchers including paleoanthropologist Katerina Harvati, evidence of the Neanderthals' existence making them the earliest known in Europe, and comparison to partial fossils found with artifacts at a site in Great Britain.
