https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/04/oldest-human-dna-discovered-spanish-cave {400,000-year-old Homo heidelbergensis DNA (from the Atapuerca mountains in northern Spain : the Sima de los Huesos, or "pit of bones", lies 30 metres underground and half a kilometre from the cave system's nearest current entrance) resembleth that of Denisovans in Siberia, who were Homo erectus. If so, then Homo neanderthalensis (if they existed) must have been at that time confined to southwestern Asia. This pit-tomb is a mountain-cavern aequivalent to the Neanderthal pit-tomb in cave on the cliff overlooking the sea, in Andalusia, facing Morocco. Collectively, they may ritualize the myth of the two fallings of Hephaistos, one into the sea and one onto the ground [written 31 Jan 2017].}

MIDDLE PALAIOLITHIC (MOUSTERIAN -- NEANDERTHAL)
"Archaeologists have previously found evidence that Neanderthals ate, collected and wore jewelry fashioned from shellfish. ...
But deep in Cueva de Figueira Brava, which housed Neanderthals about 100,000 years ago, Dr. Rodrigues and her colleagues have uncovered more than 560 fish bones, as well as remains from clams, mussels, crabs, waterfowl, seabirds, seals and dolphins."

Around 4,800 years ago, the continent was repopulated by people from the steppe regions of Eurasia."
