Evidence of Human/Neanderthal Breeding
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 40,000-year-old skull found in a Romanian cave shows traits of both modern humans and Neanderthals and might prove the two interbred, researchers reported on Monday.
If the findings are confirmed, the skull would represent the oldest modern human remains yet found in Europe. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, will add to the debate over whether modern Homo sapiens simply killed off their Neanderthal cousins, or had some intimate interactions with them first. from Reuters News Flash: Both the NFL and the WWF are evidence of Human/Neanderthal breeding, as were several of our college girlfriends (see: I dated Sasquatch) |
