World’s Oldest Human-Neanderthal Hybrid Youngster Discovered

A worldwide research team has identified the globe’s earliest well-known proof of Caveman interbreeding with modern people in a 140, 000 -year-old kid’s skeleton found in Israel’s Skhul Cavern. The research, released in l’Anthropologie , exposes the first physical evidence that these two human populaces were mating over 100, 000 years previously than previously recorded.
The five-year-old child’s remains, found regarding 90 years back on Mount Carmel, display a distinct combination of both Homo sapiens and Neanderthal physiological attributes. Led by Professor Israel Hershkovitz from Tel Aviv University and Anne Dambricourt-Malassé from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the analysis used advanced micro-CT scanning to develop detailed 3 D models of the skull and jaw.
