Prehistory in the Languedoc Roussillon & Midi-Pyrénées
The first finds here in Occitania are many millions of years old, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. But also ancient caves and sites from the era of the 450.000 year old Tautavel man (the first European) and the Cro Magnon (Magdalenien - 15.000 years old) are found here. And finally, the Celts with their cromlechs, dolmens and menhirs, who inhabited this area thousands of years ago. Come and explore this ancient past and join us on one of our prehistoric tours! panoccitania.com/excursions.html

French students find human tooth which is at least 550,000 years old
Two young archeological volunteers have uncovered the oldest human fragment ever found in France – an adult tooth which is at least 550,000 years old.
The tooth, found last week at Tautavel in the eastern French Pyrenees, could provide an important missing piece in the jigsaw of knowledge about early human settlement of Europe.
The oldest human body part ever found in Europe, a jawbone uncovered in Germany in 1907, was 600,000 years old. The oldest human remains previously found in France were 450,000 years old.
The tooth, an adult incisor, was found by two teenaged volunteers during a dig at the Caune de l’Arago caves at Tautavel near Perpignan. The site is already celebrated as the home of “Tautavel Man”, a 450,000 years old Homo Erectus discovered in 1969.

SUMMARY
=======
Homo erectus (meaning 'upright man') is a species of archaic humans that lived throughout most of the Pleistocene geological epoch.
Early fossil evidence for homo erectus was discovered with specimens dating from roughly 1.8 million years ago (discovered 1991 in Dmanisi, Georgia), in Hubei, China (min 2.15 Ma), Yuanmou, China in 2008 (dated to 1.7 Ma), in Gongwangling, China dated to 1.63 Ma (2015), along with stone tools from 2.1 million years ago (discovered 2018 in the Loess Plateau, China) created by an as yet unconfirmed hominin species.H. erectus has been hypothesized as a direct ancestor of the later hominins including Homo heidelbergensis, Homo antecessor, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo denisova, and Homo sapiens.A debate regarding the classification, ancestry, and progeny of H. erectus, especially in relation to Homo ergaster, is ongoing, with two major positions:
1) H. erectus is the same species as African H. ergaster; or,
2) it is in fact an Asian species or subspecies distinct from African H. ergaster, with some arguing that that H. erectus would later undergo back-migration to Africa, where it would evolve eventually into modern homo sapiens, and others proposing that the African species, H. ergaster, might ultimately have evolved into modern Homo sapiens in Africa, with Asian H. erectus eventually going extinct.Some paleoanthropologists consider H. ergaster to be a variety, that is, the African variety, of H. erectus; the labels Homo erectus sensu stricto (strict sense) for the Asian species and Homo erectus sensu lato (broad sense) have been offered for the greater species comprising both Asian and African populations.H. erectus eventually became extinct throughout its range in Africa, Europe and Asia, but developed into derived species, notably Homo heidelbergensis.
As a chronospecies, the time of its disappearance is thus a matter of contention. The species name proposed in 1950
defines Java Man as the type specimen (now H. e. erectus). Since then, there has been a trend in palaeoanthropology of reducing the number of proposed species of Homo, to the point where H. erectus includes all
early (Lower Paleolithic) forms of Homo sufficiently derived from H. habilis and
distinct from early H. heidelbergensis (in Africa also known as H. rhodesiensis). In this wider sense, H. erectus had mostly been replaced by H. heidelbergensis by about 300,000 years ago, with possible late survival of H. erectus soloensis in Java as late as 70,000 years ago, or up to 550,000 years ago.The discovery of the morphologically divergent Dmanisi skull 5 in 2013 has reinforced the trend of subsuming fossils formerly given separate species names under H. erectus considered as a wide-ranging, polymorphous species. Thus, H. ergaster is now well within the accepted morphological range of H. erectus, and it has been suggested that even H. rudolfensis and H. habilis (alternatively suggested as late forms of Australopithecus rather than early Homo)
should be considered early varieties of H. erectus.

SUMMARY
=======
Prehistoric France is the period in the human occupation (including early hominins) of the geographical area covered by present-day France which extended through prehistory and ended in the Iron Age with the Celtic La Tène culture.
Stone tools indicate that early humans were present in France at least 1.57 million years ago.
Paleolithic Europe
Paleolithic Europe refers to the Paleolithic period of Europe, a prehistoric era distinguished by the development of the first stone tools and which covers roughly 99% of human technological history. It extends from the introduction of stone tools by hominids 1.8 million years ago, to the introduction of agriculture and the end of the Pleistocene around 12,000 BP.
It is believed that Homo erectus evolved into Homo heidelbergensis and subsequently Homo neanderthalensis in Paleolithic Europe, before being replaced by modern humans migrating out of Africa approximately 50,000 years ago. The bones of the earliest Europeans are found in Dmanisi, Georgia, and are 1.8 million years old. The oldest evidence of human occupation in Eastern Europe comes from the Kozarnika cave in Bulgaria where a single human tooth and flint artifacts have been dated to at least 1.4 million years ago. In Western Europe at Atapuerca in Spain, human remains have been found that are from 1.2 million years ago The earliest appearance of European early modern humans has been dated to 43,000 years ago from a tooth found in the Grotta del Cavallo in Italy in 1969.

Lower Palaeolithic Quartzite tools Handaxes,Cleavers,Choppers etc
This video clip shows a selection of quartzite tools found on this site.They are not a local resource and were probably brought here by Colnian Man whenever he lived.I also have TWO examples of massive,over 100 kilo anvil shaped tree felling tools in quartzite with sturdy chisel ends and these must have been carried here possibly by boat (ALL the necessary tools for boatbuilding are in this assemblage from adzes,wedges and large choppers ,hafted axes to smaller borers,piercers etc PLUS the evidence of the Stone Map I have,(see website) which charts the rivers,lakes and coastlines of Europe and Africa and could ONLY have been made by traveling by some sort of watercraft.
Back to these artefacts now,note how most have the flat butt (striking platform),well tapered points and older cortex where they are held.
Quartzite is a much less brittle material,much tougher than flint,it is denser and would be used for more heavy duty work such as treefelling,butchery and of course,making flint tools.Many of the quartzite tools,particularly the anvil shaped tree fellers,have cupholes on the top,similiar to nut holes used by birds and monkeys to crack nuts and could have been used to hold flint into place whilst striking into form.
These tools are remarkeably similiar to those made by Homo Erectus in Africa well over a million years ago and I have seen similiar tools at Tautavel in France dated at around 900,000 years old which leads me to believe that Colnian Man was a European descendent of H.Erectus although named Homo Antecessor from remains found in Spain at Atapuerca from around that date.
I also have many,many Mode 1 type tools but they are not very distinct and easily dismissed and will only be validated when found in situ in the future when technical data will confirm their age.Bring it on!

All these clips are of artefacts from the same collection in the Pleistocene Thames valley,now the Colne Valley Herts.

Solo exhibitions :
- « La vérité des visages » - Studio Daynès – June 2015 – Paris, France
- « Humans » - Gallery Jean-François Cazeau – October 10-27, 2015 - Paris, France
- « Curieux face-à-face » - Gallery Dupré & Dupré – Dec. 9, 2015 – January 9, 2016 – Béziers, France
Born in Beziers (France) in 1960, Elisabeth Daynès lives and works in Paris. In the early stages of her career in theatre, when she worked as a prosthetic make-up artist with stage director Matthias Langhoff, she was fascinated by the question of identity and metamorphosis. From the 1990s, this passion led her to painstakingly recreate the bodies of prehistoric hominids, based on the most advanced scientific knowledge. She thus became a world-renowned paleo-artist notably with her reconstructions of fossil hominids for the Museum of Tautavel or her recreation of the Australopithecus Lucy in 1999 for the Field Museum in Chicago. In 2006, her reconstruction of Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s face put her on the cover of every edition of National Geographic. In 2010, she was awarded the John J. Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize. In 2011, the Ile-de-France Museum of Prehistory devoted a solo exhibition to her work, while a number of her sculptures of hominids were inaugurated in South Korea.
Using her work on human origins, Elisabeth Daynès now invites the public to reflect on appearance and the human face, today and in the future.
She wishes to show that in a time of social networks and ubiquitous images, everyone is free to invent endless narcissistic mirrors: boundaries blur between real and virtual and between artificial and natural. Her work demonstrates that in the future as well as in the past, we are not the apex of evolution nor are we the only possible humanity. We were once diverse and we again become diverse. Her art constantly plays with science since science feeds much of our imagination. Both take us on a voyage through time. By greatly varying size, material and treatment while playing with and recomposing the subject of the skull, she shows us all the faces that we might have had, and that we will have one day, if that is our choice as artists.
