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.

Earliest humans stayed at the Americas 'oldest hotel' in Mexican cave
Darbi posted a topic in Fossil News
Not sure if it's relevant enough to paleontology. Isn't stone tools older than 10k years considered a form of hominoid ichnofossil? Anyway, they claimed the stone tools they found in a cave is as old as 30k years old, that mean humans were in Americas 15k years earlier than originally thought. If they or others find more evidences to support this claim, that would be awesome! On a different note, that led me to think why we have not found any fossils from different human species, such as Neanderthals or Homo erectus, in Americas and also if they never crossed to Americas, what prevented them?-
