Vindija Cave

Cave in northern Croatia that supplied the bones behind the first draft Neanderthal genome in 2010 and a high-coverage genome in 2017.

Dated events and their evidence

• 45,000 BCE mainstream
  Neanderthal remains including Vindija 87; 2017 redating showed all the cave's Neanderthals are older than 44,000 years source
• 26,000 BCE disputed
  Contested: early direct dates near 28,000 years suggested very late Neanderthal survival, but were shown to be modern carbon contamination source
