Descripción: Co-organized by the American Museum of Natural History and Junta de Castilla y León, Spain.
«Castilla y León, the largest autonomous region in Spain, contains more than 50 percent of the country's historical and artistic patrimony, as well as the largest number of UNESCO world heritage sites. The history of this 100,000-square-kilometer region, the largest in western Europe, stretches back one million years. It was in Atapuerca where evidence of western Europe's first inhabitants was unearthed.»
«The gently rolling hills known as the Sierra de Atapuerca in northern Spain hide a complex system of large limestone caverns. Openings into the caves dot the hillsides, and for nearly one million years, these cave entrances have provided shelter for humans as well as animals. Over the millennia, the inhabitants of Atapuerca left behind an extraordinary fossil record that scientists are just beginning to unearth.»
