As I was researching on the Internet I came accross an interresting link about Neanderthal mtDNA.The link can be found on Anthrogenica as far as I'm concerned. It does seem(according to that link)that Neanderthal mtDNA may have been modern after all and not only that it may have been the mtDNA L lineages! However I don't know how reliable that link is but I do think it may give us a new way at looking at Paleothranpological data and defining what is human. Or could the thing be due to mere DNA contamination? Or could it be homoplasy? Or even worse a hoax? What do you guys thinks?
