55,000 Year Old Skull In Isreal

[Aberdeen]

Nature Magazine has published the abstract of a paper about the discovery of a 55,000 year old skull found in Isreal. The abstract states that the shape of the skull resembles that of modern skulls and the find should shed light on the peopling of Eurasia from the Middle East. The article itself is behind a paywall.

the skull would be similar to old Europeans and modern Africans, but not to older Africans nor to older Levantine homo sapiens sapiens
