The article states "... detta fyndet är det första som kan kopplas
samman med att människor levt här." (this is the first find to
indicate people lived here.) This isn't exactly new, nor is it "first"
- unless the "here" is restricted to that local area. Neanderthal
remains of about 120,000 years old, dating to the interglacial period
have been found in Finland.
