研究者发现140,000年的骨骼 显示尼安德特人和智人之间 早期的交融 Researchers find 140,000-year-old skeleton showing early interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

以色列和法国的研究人员 发现了世界上最古老的证据 证明尼安德特人和智人 在以色列卡梅尔山的 140,000 岁孩子的骨架上 相互交织 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. 儿童的头骨既显示出了智人和尼安德特人的特征,挑战了先前的理论,即尼安德特人和现代人只是后来才混在一起。 The child's skull shows both Homo sapiens and Neanderthal traits, challenging previous theories that Neanderthals and modern humans only mingled much later. 在《人类学》杂志《人类学》中详细介绍的这一发现表明,促成现代人类遗传多样性的异族间融合的时间比以前早得多。 This discovery, detailed in the journal l'Anthropologie, indicates a far earlier timeline for the interbreeding that contributed to modern human genetic diversity.
