Human DNA Found in 800,000-year-old Comb

Archaeologists digging in the Atapuerca Mountains in northern Spain have uncovered the fossilized remains of an archaic group of humans different to any other ever seen. The bones are among the oldest Homo fossils ever found in Europe, and some researchers have speculated that they may represent the elusive common ancestor of Neanderthals, Denisovans and modern humans.
