description: International symposium at the University of Tübingen, Germany, 8th-12th April 2001. This symposium explores the relationship between environmental change and the key events in the evolution and dispersal of the human clade, from its origin around 5-8 Myr to the expansion of Homo sapiens across the globe between 100 Kyr and 15 Kyr.
abstract: Abundant fossil evidence indicates that modern humans evolved outside of Europe. Despite nearly a century and a half of research across many parts of the continent, there is no evidence for the arrival of anatomically modern humans in Europe before ca. 40 ka. At sites including Vogelherd where early European modern humans have been recovered, their skeletal remains are found in association with Aurignacian artifacts that are characterized by innovative lithic and organic artifacts and abundant examples of art and ornament that go far beyond the range of variation documented among the material culture of the indigenous Neanderthals. The distribution of dates for the most convincing evidence for the Aurignacian and early Upper Paleolithic suggests that Homo sapiens sapiens arrived in Europe around 40 ka. The best evidence for this early phase of occupation comes, broadly speaking, from the Circum-Mediterranean area and the upper reaches of the Danube Valley. The observation that many very early and also very rich Aurignacian sites are well documented in the Swabian Alb, suggests an early settlement of this area which led to the elaborate cultural developments documented at sites including Sirgenstein, Vogelherd, Hohlenstein-Stadel and Geißenklösterle. These sites, among other important finds, have yielded the earliest artworks and musical instruments known from Europe. The Kulturpumpe model describes several potential mechanisms to explain these cultural innovations. Following this initial appearance of modern humans, Neanderthals and anatomically and culturally modern people coexisted in often spatial separate regions until ca. 25-30 ka when the last Neanderthals died out in the most peripheral parts of Europe. This paper provides new dates for the Aurignacian of the Swabian Alb and archaeological analyses to test the hypotheses that the Danube Corridor and the Mediterranean coast provide the two key routes for the colonization of Europe. Ecological and chronological data testing the Kulturpumpe model will also be provided.
