Grotte Mandrin
Mandrin Cave (French: "Grotte Mandrin") is a cave in France where habitation alternating between Neanderthals and Initial Upper Paleolithic Modern Humans in the cave has been documented, and the presence of modern humans has been dated to between 56,800 and 51,700 years ago, about 10,000 years before previously accepted dates for the colonization of Europe by modern humans. Mandrin Cave is located in the municipality of Malataverne, on the left bank of the Rhône The Rhône ( , ; wae, Rotten ; frp, Rôno ; oc, Ròse ) is a major river in France and Switzerland, rising in the Alps and flowing west and south through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before discharging into the Mediterranean Sea.

Initial Upper Paleolithic
The Initial Upper Paleolithic (also IUP, ) covers the first stage of the Upper Paleolithic, during which modern human populations expanded throughout Eurasia. Genetics Modern humans of the Initial Upper Paleolithic (IUP) wave are suggested to have expanded from a population hub through a star-like expansion pattern (>45kya), and are linked to "East-Eurasian" lineages, broadly ancestral to modern populations in Eastern Eurasia and Oceania, notably East Asian peoples, Aboriginal Australians, and Papuans. While ancient samples found in Central Asia and Europe, such as the Ust'-Ishim man, Bacho Kiro, or Oase 2, used inland routes, the ancestors of Eastern Asians and Oceanians used a Southern Dispersal, southern dispersal route through South Asia, rapidly diverging there. Initial Upper Paleolithic sites are considered as forming the earliest culture of modern humans in Europe. However, these people do not appear to have been the ancestors of later Europeans as the very few ancient ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhône
The Rhône ( , ; wae, Rotten ; frp, Rôno ; oc, Ròse ) is a major river in France and Switzerland, rising in the Alps and flowing west and south through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before discharging into the Mediterranean Sea. At Arles, near its mouth, the river divides into the Great Rhône (french: le Grand Rhône, links=no) and the Little Rhône (). The resulting delta forms the Camargue region. The river's source is the Rhône Glacier, at the east edge of the Swiss canton of Valais. The glacier is part of the Saint-Gotthard Massif, which gives rise to three other major rivers: the Reuss, Rhine and Ticino. The Rhône is, with the Po and Nile, one of the three Mediterranean rivers with the largest water discharge. Etymology The name ''Rhône'' continues the Latin name (Greek ) in Greco-Roman geography. The Gaulish name of the river was or (from a PIE root *''ret-'' "to run, roll" frequently found in river names). Names in other languages include german ...
