I got as far European Higher Education Area and managed to guess Lisbon, but beyond that I had basically no way to solving this one on my own.

well, well. when I saw that *it* was named after a university, for some reason I immediately thought of Italy and yes, Bologna (gorgeous city, btw). this was somewhere in the 50s, guess-wise. I tried everything humanly possible in the accord<>declaration range for the second word, but to no avail (altho these terms actually occur in the text), then gleaned at the Dutch article, which had the Dutch for ‘declaration’ as its title, sigh, and then gave up and cheated. feel like I was robbed of a glorious and impressive victory!

Went down the "species" rabbit hole, but then the human angle really stumped me until I started seeing hits for historical periods that belong to unambiguously modern humans.

figured out what it was in one (well, one of two possibilities) but I had to look it up. if it rang a bell it was very very faint.

hits for “Latin” and “Arabic” had me looking elsewhere - that wasn’t so smart, because they can also refer to script, and in fact did here

All the subscripts pointed towards something chemical, which led to oxygen, but I muddled around the atmosphere, chemistry, and geology before trying "human" on a whim.

the thing was apparent soon enough, its name less so (altho it turned out to be extremely obvious). got it as a fluke: wanted to throw in the *verb* as a guess while I was busy filling up the blanks

same although even if i'd heard of her i might not have got it as i couldn't think of a three letter word that goes before 'singer' :/

didn't get yesterday's either despite getting the first word in one, when a plausible candidate for the 15 letter word in the first para somehow popped into my head.
