WASHINGTON, March 9 Neanderthal fossils from a cave in Belgium believed to belong to the last survivors of their species ever discovered in Europe are thousands of years older than once thought, a new study said yesterday. Previous radiocarbon dating of the remains from the Spy Cave yielded ages as recent as approximately 24,000 years ago, but the new testing pushes the clock back to between 44,200 to 40,600 years ago.

Neanderthal remains in Belgium thought to be 37,000 years old are actually thousands of years OLDER

Scientists re-dated a range of fossils from palaeolithic site Spy cave in Belgium They found fossils had been contaminated and so the original dates were wrong  New dates place them up to 5,000 years older than the suspected 37,000 years This allowed the team to confirm that the Neanderthals disappeared from northwest Europe somewhere between 44,200 and 40,600 years ago
