Jawbone hints at earliest Britons
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4482679.stm
By Paul Rincon - BBC News science reporter
A piece of jawbone that has lain in Torquay Museum, Devon, for nearly
80 years could be the oldest example of a modern human yet found in
Europe.
The Kent's Cavern specimen was thought to be about 31,000 years old,
but re-dating shows it is actually between 37,000 and 40,000 years old.
However, the early dates lead the team behind the research to wonder if
the jawbone is actually from a Neanderthal. A new examination of the
fragment along with DNA analysis could sort this out.
The fragment of maxilla (upper jaw) containing three teeth was
unearthed in Kent's Cavern, Torquay, in 1927 during an excavation by the
Torquay Natural History Society.

Kents Cavern is one of the most important Palaeolithic caves in
Northern Europe and the oldest recognisable human dwelling in Britain.
Sir Arthur Keith, who was then Britain's leading anatomist, identified
the specimen - known as Kent's Cavern 4 - as that of a modern human
(Homo sapiens). It has by and large been accepted as such ever since.
The real significance of Kent's Cavern 4 was not recognised until the
1980s, when radiocarbon dating revealed its age to be 31,000 years old.
