The Abbey Museum Friends invite you to their Annual Lunch and Presentation hosted by Dr Ladislav Nejman, on Saturday, 17th October at the Abbey Hall. Neanderthals were the indigenous people of Europe for hundreds of thousands of years until approximately 40,000 years ago when they went extinct. Beginning about 50,000 years ago, a new species of humans, Homo sapiens, began arriving in Europe from Africa. This was also a time of frequent and extreme climate changes. Modern archaeological research as well as new genetic studies of Neanderthal and ancient modern human DNA have brought many new exciting discoveries and are helping us to reconstruct this ancient world with increasing precision. Time (Presentation ONLY): 2pm – 4pm. Location: The Abbey Hall (located behind the Abbey Museum), 31 The Abbey Place, Caboolture. Dietary Requirements: Vegetarian and Gluten Free options ONLY available. Accessibility: The Abbey Hall is wheelchair friendly but NOT accessible by mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs.
