Howdy.

-> (The Christian Science Monitor) Neanderthal ear turns up in unexpected place, muddling evolutionary picture (+video)
A distinct inner ear bone formation thought to be unique to Neanderthals has turned up in a very different sort of ancient human found in China.

This specimen could have been a descendant of both a Neanderthal and a member of another early human species.

Gérard, everyone
It rings a bell for me.

It's a novel I enjoyed reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_Children

It tells the story of Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon girl who is adopted and raised by a tribe of Neanderthals

interesting and well documented.

Yes Muriel however, here, both species are not in Europe but thousands of kilometers aside: in China (Neanderthal was assumed to live in Europe only).

scratch

weird and bloody exciting! Worth another novel!
