Objectives: We provide the description and comparative analysis of six new teeth from the site of La Ferrassie. Our goal is to discuss their taxonomic attribution, and to provide an updated inventory of Neandertal and modern human remains from La Ferrassie in their associated archeological context.
Materials And Methods: We use external and internal anatomy, classic morphometrics, and geometric morphometrics.
A significant number of Middle to Late Pleistocene sites contain primarily (and sometimes only) deciduous teeth (e.g., Grotta del Cavallo, Mezmaiskaya, Blombos).

- The Orce region in southern Spain has a significant record of late Pliocene and early Pleistocene fossils.
- A new hominin tooth fossil discovered at Barranco León is estimated to be around 1.4 million years old, based on various dating methods.
- This makes the Barranco León hominin the oldest known example from Western Europe, predating other findings in the area like those from the Sima del Elefante.
