Unfortunately this article requires a significant improvement before meeting the good article criteria; therefore, it has failed its nomination. Issues include:

• References required for:
  • "Upper Paleolithic people" paragraph
  • "Early Neolithic era begins around"
  • "The original newcomers"
  • "Further out were the pastures"
  • "The Danubian people produced many richly decorated objects, including clay containers with animal head ornaments and figurines of women."
  • Most of "Neolithic cultures developed by native populations" section
  • Most of "Late Neolithic arrivals from eastern and western regions of Europe" section
• References should be placed after punctuation marks, not before.
