Talk:Paleolithic Iberia

Second paragraph of Lower Paleolithic
The last two sentences of the beginning part of the Lower Paleolithic section are problematic (I deleted one, but then put it back in case that was too bold). 1. The second-to-last sentence, about H. antecessor being the last common ancestor of H. sapiens and H. heidelbergensis, is stated as fact, but from a cursory look through recent literature, it seems like a prominent view is that H. heidelbergensis is the common ancestor of H. sapiens and Neanderthals and that H. antecessor likely diverged from the H. heidelbergensis lineage just before the sapiens-neanderthalensis split. Would anyone be able to verify? The source is a paywalled book in Spanish. Alternatively, should this sentence just be taken out? It doesn't seem strictly relevant to the rest of the article. 2. The sentence starting with "There is some imbalance among archaeological discoveries..." cites a Spanish source that I read through machine translation, and it didn't appear to say anything at all about two periods of depopulation during the listed timeframes. There is some chance the translation wasn't accurate, though. Dicynodont (talk) 16:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
