Current evidence suggests that the first humans to land in Ireland arrived from Scotland
According to RTÉ News, Bates said that Irish evidence of Neanderthal habitation earlier than 30,000 years ago would indicate that settlers came from Wales. This is because there is evidence of Neanderthals being in Wales during this period but not in Scotland.While a Cork discovery suggested human activity in the county 33,000 years ago, Bates told the outlet that the evidence is contested.
The Irish side of excavations for the Portalis archaeology project were carried out by the US team Geoarchaeology Research Associates, with their findings set to be published later this month.
