Here's a handful more papers/discussion adding to the complexity: http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2012/07/can-we-retire-60000-year-old-coastal.html http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2012/07/can-we-retire-60000-yea... Simple answer is I don't think there's any consensus, but a radically novel view is beginning to emerge, being aided hugely by our newfound ability to genetically sequence ancient fossils.
