Goyet (place)
Goyet is a hamlet of the municipality Gesves, Wallonia, located in the province of Namur, Belgium.[1]
It is famous for Goyet Caves, with glacial remnants of Neandertals, Homo sapiens and canid.[2]
In 2016, two ancient hunter-gatherers that were excavated at Goyet were found to carry the M mtDNA haplogroup. The Late Pleistocene specimens were dated to 34,000 and 35,000 years ago.[3]
