Find adds 5,000 years to humans' time in Europe
James Randerson, science correspondent

Scientists have found the oldest evidence for modern humans in Europe at a site in Russia. The location, which includes evidence of ivory carving and the use of traps to catch small mammals such as hares, reinforces the view that stone age humans used technology and innovation to expand into new areas.
The find dates the European leg of our ancestors' journey out of Africa at between 42,000 and 45,000 years ago. Scientists had previously
thought that modern humans spread across western and central Europe between 40,000 and 42,000 years ago.
