I'd be interested to know which to material you are refering here. I know
that in the past people have suggested that the Predmost material is
transitional, but even a cursory glance at skulls from there shows that
they are fully modern (or at least as modern as any H.s.s. was in the
Palaeolithic). Are there any more convincing examples?
