ImpactModerate impact

The discussions imply that this discovery could influence regional paleo-history by filling gaps in the fossil record, though some focus mainly on recognition rather than profound consequences.

Abstract in brief

The discovery of a well-preserved Neanderthal first molar (Pes3) in Pe turina Cave, Serbia, confirms that Neanderthals lived in the Central Balkans around 102,000 to 43,000 years ago, during the Late Pleistocene.
The detailed analysis of the molar's dental structure, including nonmetric traits and morphometric features, matches typical Neanderthal characteristics like a skewed crown shape, compressed cusps, thin enamel, and large dentine.
This find provides evidence that Neanderthals were present in Serbia and the broader region at the end of Marine Isotope Stage 5c, filling a gap in the fossil record of Neanderthal presence in this area.]
