Question
These people left a so-called “hashtag” in Gorham’s Cave. The remains of several dozen of these people were found amid clumps of pollen in Shanidar 4. These people are associated with the Mousterian industry, in which knapping is used to produce stone tools from a prepared core in the Levallois technique. A fossil nicknamed “Denny” is the offspring of a Denisovan father and a mother from these people. A discovery in Divje Babe in Slovenia ignited controversy over whether these people created music. Research conducted by Svante Pääbo suggests significant interbreeding between this species and modern humans. For 10 points, name this hominid, extinct since about 40,000 years ago, that is named after a valley in Germany. ■END■
