MINERVA JULY/AUGUST 2007 (VOL 18.4)

MINERVA WORLD EXCLUSIVE A New Palaeolithic Revolution

Jerome M. Eisenberg, Ph.D. and Dr Sean Kingsley

Don't know who Kingsley is, but Jerome M Eisenberg is owner of the
Royal Athena Ancient Art Gallery, an art dealership specializing in
ancient art with shops in New York, London and Beverly Hills. Maybe
the hype in the text is his, after all he is a salesman. I would judge
him as sufficiently knowledgeable in ancient cultures to listen if he
speaks.

Minerva is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but a journal of
the international art trade.

The results have convinced Bednarik that 'Between 400,000
and 200,000 years ago, hominins are also known to have crossed to at
least two islands in Europe, Corsica, and Sardinia. This is soundly
demonstrated, but in addition it is possible that much earlier they
managed to cross the Strait of Gibraltar. Unfortunately, that cannot
be proved conclusively,

HSS reached Corsica and Sardinia around 7000 BCE. I am not aware of
human traces before that, especially not of HSN or his ancestors.
