In this episode, we explore the remarkable story of the “Petralona Man,” a mysterious skull discovered in 1960 within Greece’s Petralona Cave. For decades, its origins puzzled scientists, but new uranium-thorium dating has finally revealed its true age—about 286,000 years old. Belonging to the extinct species Homo heidelbergensis, this ancient hominid lived in Europe alongside Neanderthals during the Middle Pleistocene. The discovery provides crucial insights into human evolution, showing the coexistence of primitive populations with the evolving Neanderthal lineage. Join us as we uncover how this 300,000-year-old fossil reshapes our understanding of prehistoric life in Europe.
