sifting through ancient remains, archaeologists have been scrabbling in the french heat, looking for clues to our own history. and they ve discovered that the very first modern humans to have arrived in western europe came thousands of years earlier than previously thought. we are now able to demonstrate that homo sapiens arrived 12,000 years before expected, and this population were then replaced after that by other neanderthal populations, and this rewrites literally all of our books on history. neanderthals had been living in europe for hundreds of thousands of years. the current theory is that homo sapiens arrived from africa around 42,000 years ago, and shortly after that the neanderthals went extinct. but now it appears that some of our species arrived 511,000 years ago that s thousands of years earlier, and it means both homo sapiens and neanderthals may have lived on the same continent for much, much longer than previously thought before modern humans eventually gained the up

it was quite, yeah, surreal. of course it must be that even people here got infected and i am very sorry about that, and we can t have, we were not able to do anything different because we had no safety measures which were at this time available, so we had no possibilities for any tests or for controlling vaccinations at the entrance. the bar didn t reopen again until this past december. this is the first ski season in ischgl since the pandemic began. 511,000 ski passes were sold in december, after it opened on the 14th. that s only a modest drop in numbers since the last time the slopes were open here in 2019. the season is fine so far, we are happy that we are able to welcome guests again from all over the world. we are limited to our seats, at the moment we have the ability for 120 customers. normally guests are coming inside and having a drink and standing, that is not possible at the moment, so we are 50% capacity to regular season. we are controlling every guest, so
