Wednesday, November 23, at 6:30 PM โ Bar des Oiseaux โ Nice
The evenings at the Bar of Sciences and Citizens of Nice are free; only the drinks are paid for. These events are organized by scientists from the SFP, OCA, and LPMC*, who will be happy to continue the discussions at the table after 8:30 PM.
A new prehistoric remnant was discovered this summer at the Lazaret cave excavation site: a significant fragment of a human skull, much older than the other bones unearthed at this location until now. What does this new discovery teach us?
Can we know who this human was, how they lived? Can it shed light on the origins of Man and our Nice “ancestors”? What differences exist between them and us, or with the inhabitants of Terra Amata?
To understand and discuss the impact of this discovery,
๏ญEmmanuel Desclaux, Archaeologist and Paleontologist, head of the Lazaret’s Departmental Prehistory Laboratory. Emmanuel Desclaux is also an expert on climate and environment during prehistory (Lazaret cave, CG06)
๏ญOlivier Notter, Prehistorian, specialist in stone tools and the behavior of Paleolithic humans (European Center for Prehistoric Research of Tautavel)
๏ญElena Rossoni-Notter, PhD candidate in prehistory, studying Neanderthals at the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology of Monaco (University of Perpignan)
๏ญBertrand Roussel, Director of Collections at the Museum of Human Paleontology of Terra Amata, and a specialist in prehistoric humans, their lifestyle and techniques, particularly in fire domestication (Terra Amata Museum, City of Nice)
