Reacción a "Reactions to the study that calculates when Neanderthals and modern humans coincided in northern Spain and France"

The paper published in Scientific Reports deals with a topical issue that is, in some respects, the subject of much debate. The available data have been used, which, in principle, are of the highest quality. Appropriate statistical models have also been used to process the data and the general conclusion is very interesting and will have to be assessed in detail in order to definitively establish the Neanderthal/Sapiens transition in France and the Iberian Peninsula. 

However, the incorporation of sites from the Iberian Peninsula outside the northern area is missing in order to have a complete view of the phenomenon, since the so-called "Ebro frontier" seems not to be feasible. On the other hand, no mention is made of the important taphonomic problems that are being detected in the sites, which affect both the interstratigraphic contamination and the entity of the sites under analysis.
