A group of UK scientists reexamined a group of late stage Neanderthal teeth from the early 1900s with modern techniques such as CT scanning. They discovered a mix of new characteristics indicative of both modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthal, more evidence supporting a gradual absorption of Neanderthals into emerging modern human populations.

Short Story I am photographing and cataloging fossil hominin skulls for my college, and I need some help identifying some of the unlabelled casts. I can generally get the species, but I am trying to narrow it down to a specific specimen that the model/cast is based on. Long Story I'm doing an independant study course at college, part of which is to photograph and catalogue all of the fossil hominin skull casts. It's the usual assemblage of Australopithecus through to H. erectus, Neanderthals and then Homo sapiens. However, a lot of the casts are very old and not that accurate, and most aren
