The first Homo sapiens (Grimaldi man) arrived by small groups in northern Spain around 45,000 - 35,000 BP from Africa.
For those unaware and only familiar with BC and AD; Before Present (BP) years is a time scale used mainly in geology and other scientific disciplines to specify when events in the past occurred.
African's populated the planet and even the whitest people on the planet came from them... Remember Albinism effects every species on the planet.
They (the original humans) cohabited for a time with the last of the Neanderthals, and then developed a significant culture known as paleolithic cave art which developed across Europe, from the Urals to the Iberian Peninusula, from 35,000 to 11,000 BC.
Because of their deep galleries, isolated from external climatic influences, these caves are particularly well preserved.
The caves are inscribed as masterpieces of creative genius and as the humanity’s earliest accomplished art.
From 13,000 to 10,000 BP, the climate became warmer (Holocene), causing a profound transformation in human lifestyles, together with a decline in cave art. Las Monedas is an example of late cave art, and there is no evidence of cave art later than 11,000 BP.
The Khoisan (Khoi + San) - Is the name for the two original ethnic groups of Southern Africa.
From the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period, a hunting and gathering culture known as the Sangoan occupied this area.
Today's San and Khoi people resemble their ancient skeletal remains and are believed to be their descendants.
The Khoisan people were the inhabitants of much of southern Africa before the southward Bantu expansion, and later European colonization.
Both Khoi and San people share physical and linguistic characteristics, and it seems clear that the Khoi branched forth from the San when they adopted the practice of herding cattle and goats from neighboring Bantu speaking groups.
Culturally they are divided into the hunter gatherer San people (commonly known as Bushmen) and the pastoral Khoi.
In the Khoisan language, consonants are pronounced with a clicking sound.
This prompted their Dutch invaders to call them “Hottentots” – a derogatory word meaning "stutterer" or "stammerer" in the language of the Dutch invaders; Who, together with British and German settlers, would eventually exterminate them with the Herero and Namaqua Genocides.
And because they couldn't understand the language it was called derogatory... GTFOH!
One of the great ironies of Human History, is that this marks the second time, that these very same peoples – the British, Dutch, and Germans - would exterminate Khoisans and seize their lands.
It is a repeat of what happened (ca. 500 B.C.), when the ancestors of today's British, Dutch, and Germans: The Celts and Germans who migrated into Europe from the place of their evolution, (the Eurasian Plains): exterminated the Khoisan inhabitants of Europe and seized their lands.
It appears that unfortunately, word never got back to those in Africa, as to what the Caucasians were likely to do... Damn Shame!
The Khoisan: The worlds oldest human group... According to Knight et al. (2003) Y-haplogroup A, the most diverse or oldest-diverging Y haplogroup transmitted purely by patrilineal descent, is today present in various Khoisan groups at frequencies of 12-44%, and the other Y-haplogroups present have been formed by recent admixture of Bantu male lineages E3a (18-54%), and in some groups, noticeable Pygmy traces are visible (B2b).
The Khoisan also show the largest genetic diversity in matrilineally transmitted mtDNA of all human populations.
Their original mtDNA haplogroups L1d and L1k are one of the oldest-diverging female lineages as well.
Khoisan imagination and artistry:
Around 75,000 years ago, in a cave near the southern Cape shoreline in South Africa, a human drilled tiny holes into the shells of snails and strung them as beads to make the oldest known jewelry.
The shells are marked with traces of red ochre, suggesting they were either decorated with iron oxide pigment or; they were worn by someone wearing primitive makeup with iron oxide pigment.
They are the first evidence of artistic creativity and symbolism in Modern Man.
This artistic creativity in the Khoisan; would be continued and improved upon.
Please note: One of the sad, and unfortunate facts of life, is that many Anthropologists, Researchers and Academics, still refuse to acknowledge that Africans were the first Human colonizers of Europe.
To hide this fact, they prefer to use the terms Aurignacian and Gravettian cultures; which is fine, it still means Grimaldi.
However, the current fad of attributing Grimaldi artifacts to the Humanoid Cro-Magnon is in all ways, mystifying.
After all, thought different, Cro-Magnon (a mutant) like Grimaldi, was a Black African.
