Abstract: Although much information exists about the Neanderthals of Europe who lived 130,000 years ago, their ancestors are still shrouded in mystery. A recent paper reports on the discovery of human fossils in the caves ofhe Sierra de Atapuerca in Spain. The fossils, which are 200,000-300,000 years old, bear some of the specialized anatomical hallmarks of the later Neanderthals, to whom the Atapuerca people may be related.
