Ancient flint tools buried in the slopes of a Danish island have offered a hint that Neanderthals may have lived there 120,000 years ago.

The first humans in Denmark were previously believed to have been reindeer hunters from around 14,000 years ago.

Archaeologists from Denmark’s National Museum and Roskilde Museum excavated slopes in Ejby Klint by Isefjord between Roskilde and Holbæk.

The researchers found ancient mussel shells and flint stones that may have been shaped by humans.
