The same situation is observed when considering another archaeological complex of Southern France (Grimaldi – 25,000 BC) – in the early stages it was inhabited by people with Negroid and Melanesian characters, but later they are replaced by people more or less resembling Europeans with characteristic eagles noses.
The Grimaldi Negroids were the carriers of the Aurignacian culture. In the Late Paleolithic time and in the Mesolithic, the Negroid population was noted in the lower Oka and Ukraine.
In Portugal, a Negroid element was noted in the Mesolithic site of the Mugem Tardenau culture.
The Tardenau culture spread in Spain, France, Belgium, Britain, West Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine. Dates back to 8—4 thousand BC.
