Upper Paleolithic
The hominin that became dominant in the Upper Paleolithic period was Homo sapiens. It includes a sequence of archeological cultures that are basically the same for all the Franco-Cantabrian region.
In this period the interior (Mediterranean basin) was seldom if ever inhabited, due to the limitations imposed by the cold climate.

Famous quotes containing the word upper:
“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,
Both dame and servant, welcomed all, served all,
Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,
On his shoulder, and his, her face afire
With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
