Anthropologists exploring Manot Cave in Israel have uncovered a rare 55,000-year-old fossil skull that they say has a story to tell of a reverberating transition in human evolution, in the time and place when some early humans were moving out of Africa and apparently interbreeding with Neanderthals. [...] they may have already looked something like their descendants known later from fossils in Stone Age Europe. The discovery team urged caution on the interbreeding issue but noted anatomical features of the cranium suggesting that some human-Neanderthal mixture had presumably occurred before any encounters with one another in Europe and elsewhere in Asia.
