Scientists said on Wednesday the upper part of the skull, the domed portion without the face or jaws, was unearthed in Manot Cave in Israel's Western Galilee. Scientific dating techniques determined the skull was about 55,000 years old. The researchers said characteristics of the skull, dating from a time period when members of our species were thought to have been marching out of Africa, suggest the individual was closely related to the first Homo sapiens populations that later colonized Europe. They also said the skull provides the first evidence that Homo sapiens inhabited that region at the same time as Neanderthals, our closest extinct human relative. ..."The co-existence of these two populations in a confined geographic region at the same time that genetic models predict interbreeding promotes the notion that interbreeding may have occurred in the Levant region," Hershkovitz said. yahoo article continues ------------------------- Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971. |

No wonder Lilith wandered away, she must have gotten a "look" at a Neanderthal.

Taiwan Jaw Bone Connected to the Origins of Humanity, May Reveal Entirely New Prehistoric Species.
The first ancient human fossil found in Taiwan may indicate the presence of an unknown archaic species of humans who lived in Asia during the Pleistocene era, possibly hundreds of thousands of years before modern humans arrived. - See more at: http://www.ancient-origins.net...rigins-humanity-020183 ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

We can see Neanderthals are still alive and well today.... Look toward this administration and anyone who supports it.
Those islamic nut jobs are in the same category. |

I think we are hybrids of the two species.

I think we are hybrids of the two species. I do too. The giant gene that pops up on occasion, (see Shaq) has to come from somewhere? ------------------------- I was right. |

I don't think that gene be would be from neanderthal, weren't they shorter and stockier that h. sapiens?
