Geneticists attribute this period to the appearance of the mitochondrial Eve: a
female that, since then, has always and anyhow had at least one female child
through which her mitochondrial heritage has perpetuated.
115-80 thousand years ago
Middle Palaeolithic. In the Bible we read about Tubalcain, of antediluvian
lineage, who “forged tools of copper and iron”. The farmer Cain kills his
brother Abel, a shepherd; Cain's descendants become the creators of
civilization (cities, metalworking...). The “sons of God” walk on the Earth and
join with human females thus generating the biblical Nephilìm; in this period
individuals created by gods live very long. Traces of human settlements in
Swaziland and Zululand. Traces of mining areas in South Africa. A direct
evolution of Homo sapiens is Cro-Magnon (Sapiens sapiens): Neanderthals
emigrate (expulsion of Cain?). Sapiens sapiens is the man we know as
“civilized”: was it then that “they began to invoke the name of God”? (Gen
4:26)

Traces of mining areas in South Africa. The discovery of a Neanderthal's hyoid

Upper Palaeolithic. The period is characterized by the last Ice Age (Wurm)
