Your Inner Neanderthal --"Compelling Evidence Found for Interbreeding With Humans"

Your Inner Neanderthal --"Compelling Evidence Found for Interbreeding With Humans" (Weekend Feature): "Researchers believe they have pinpointed the skeletal remains of the first known human-Neanderthal hybrid, according to a study published this May in the peer reviewed scientific journal PLoS ONE. The finding came from northern Italy, where some 40,000 years ago scientists believe Neanderthals and humans lived near each other, but developed separate and distinctly different cultures. A segment of a jawbone found during an archaeological dig in the area reveals that the bone’s owner had facial features attributable to both modern humans and Neanderthals, the study explains."
