flag Researchers find 140,000-year-old skeleton showing early interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

flag Israeli and French researchers have found the world's oldest evidence of interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens in a 140,000-year-old child's skeleton from Mount Carmel in Israel. flag The child's skull shows both Homo sapiens and Neanderthal traits, challenging previous theories that Neanderthals and modern humans only mingled much later. flag This discovery, detailed in the journal l'Anthropologie, indicates a far earlier timeline for the interbreeding that contributed to modern human genetic diversity.
