NEW YORK (AP) - Neanderthals survived for thousands of years longer than scientists thought, with small lingering bands finding refuge in a massive cave near the southern tip of Spain, new research suggests.
The work contends that Neanderthals were using a cave in Gibraltar at least 2,000 years later than their presence had been firmly documented anywhere before, researchers said.
"Maybe these are the last ones," said Clive Finlayson of The Gibraltar Museum, who reported the findings Wednesday with colleagues on the Web site of the journal Nature.
The paper says charcoal samples from fires that Neanderthals set in the cave are about 28,000 years old and maybe just 24,000 years old.

"there were no ******* neanderthals. they are fiction, made up by a group of scientists to support their theory and control the masses of people. they are just imaginary, now get over it and end of story"
now G.V. will think i am being serious and i will never hear the end of it as he continues to post the date of this response in his subsequent replies asking for an explanation.
