Why all this was so, at least in 2014 we will know very well. For as long as the investigation of the grave discovery, takes part in the 30 scientists are using the latest equipment.
With a so-called strontium isotope analysis, they can find, for example, grew up where the dog. Particularly interesting is the question of how far had this age-old four-legged friends have genetically removed from the wolf.
Also, the Rhine, Adam and Eve are examined with meticulous precision. The scientists, led by Ralf W. Schmitz want to analyze the bones of the pair.
They are cut with a cutting edge x-ray computed tomography in legendary and 150,000 discs. This is expected to indicate whether the two a couple or father and daughter were.
Moreover, it is pure luck that the grave was discovered along with his bones: Two quarry workers in the area on Oberkasseler Stingeberg fell in 1914 when Schuttabfahren the bones with a reddish tinge.
1994 there was a so-called excavation. But only now is enough money - 250,000 euros - there to turn back the wheel of history by 14,000 years.

Bitter bust for the "Club"



Nuremberg --
The chase of the 1st FC Nuremberg is already over. A week after the furious 3-2 win at VfL Wolfsburg master "the club conceded" Movers in Bundesliga duel of a bitter 0:1 (0:1)-bust against SC Freiburg, and with the fourth home defeat suffered a setback in battle for the remaining class. Before 40 824 spectators at the Nuremberg World Cup stadium in Freiburg succeeded thanks to the decisive strike from Stefan Reisinger (12. minute) successful reparations for the 0:6-home debacle a week ago against Werder Bremen.
Both FCN coach Michael Oenning Freiburg as well as his colleague Robin Dutt were forced from the game to staffing changes. The "club" was missing goalkeeper Raphael Schafer, who has been suspended because of his ill-kick against Wolfsburg Sylvain Distin last Saturday for four games. For him, celebrating the 23-year-old Alexander Stephan his Bundesliga debut in the FCN-gate. In Freiburg, the defender Heiko Butscher, and Johannes Flum Pavel Krmas were not there because of injury. As linkerVerteidiger Frenchman Mendy Jackson (was 22) from the Freiburger Regionalliga team his professional debut.
Freiburg Notabwehr was virtually unemployed in the first 15 minutes of play, because the Breisgauer given away the game from the opening whistle, and laced the "club" in his own half. After only seven minutes of the Sports Club would be almost took the lead, but with a header from Mohamadou Idrissou Stephen was at his post and turned the ball over the crossbar. Five minutes later the debutant was powerless. Idrissou's header won the duel with FCN captain Andreas Wolf, and the ex-Reisinger Freiburg Fürth brought his third goal of the season with a deserved lead.
Nuremberg lacked ideas and playfulness to bring the Freiburg defensive serious embarrassment. For a hint of danger before the gate of SC-keeper Simon Pouplin Peer Kluge, who was the only professional FCN-normal form, and Wolf (16.) ensured at the first opportunities for the perplexed-looking veteran. The best chance to compensate awarded Kluge (43.) when, after preliminary work by Christian Eigler only hit the side-netting. The Substitution of attacking Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting for central defender Dominic Maroh (46.) promised to FCN coach Oenning more attacking impetus.
The Nuremberg developed actually more pressure to the front, but ran rather than blindly determined after the residue. The tight shot of Mike Frantz (56.) Pouplin hardly put to the test. The Freiburg with former Nuremberg Ivica Banovic as the focal point were limited to counter-attack again, but they came to meet the many bad passes the helpless francs. Also, last Oenning Joker Marek Mintal, who aground for the Minor Daniel Gygax (74.), not stabbed. One minute before the end of the game came Choupo-Moting only a headed the crossbar.
