Oldest mixed human-Neanderthal fossil found in Israel
A 140,000-year-old child’s skull found in Israel reveals that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens lived side by side and interbred far earlier than scientists ever believed. The post WATCH: Oldest mixed human-Neanderthal fossil found in Israel appeared first on World Israel News.
140,000-year-old skeleton shows earliest interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals
Scientists have uncovered the world s earliest fossil showing both Neanderthal and Homo sapiens features: a five-year-old child from Israel s Skhul Cave dating back 140,000 years. This discovery pushes back the timeline of human interbreeding, proving that Neanderthals and modern humans were already mixing long before Europe s later encounters.
Child of two human species: already 140,000 years ago, representatives of our species and Neanderthals met and fathered joint children. This is evidenced by the fossil skeleton of a five-year-old child discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Israel. The head of this child has both characteristics of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. This shows that both human species met and crossed in the Middle East earlier than previously assumed. It is alread…
Humans and Neanderthals interbred 100,000 years earlier than previously thought
On the slopes of Mount Carmel in northern Israel, a small skull has changed the story of human history. Buried in Skhul Cave roughly 140,000 years ago, the remains of a five-year-old child show that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens were far more intertwined than scientists once believed. A fresh analysis has revealed that these two groups were interbreeding at least 100,000 years earlier than previously thought. A Fossil Rediscovered The child’s sk…
