# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Free Hybrid Lecture: Homo sapiens Meets Neanderthals: The End of a World
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 25 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The arrival of Homo sapiens in the mid-latitudes of Eurasia 48,000 to 45,000 years ago and the disappearance of the Neanderthals some millennia later mark one of the most pivotal episodes in human evolution. Drawing on cutting-edge work in archaeology, paleogenetics, and palaeoproteomics, Jean-Jacques Hublin, Professor at the Collège de France (Paris), Emeritus Professor at the Max Planck Society, will present a lecture that will llustrate how this process was neither sudden nor uniform. 

In Western Europe, early modern humans entered the Neanderthal world far earlier than once believed, at times encountering and interbreeding with local populations. Instead of a simple geographic expansion, the evidence points to a complex mosaic of migrations, contacts, and extinctions. This led to a gradual reconfiguration of human populations from a world shared by multiple human forms to one inhabited by a single surviving lineage.
