Washington Post today is carrying this article detailing a new fossil find in remote north-east Romania. The article is pretty heavy on the "Jesus you have to go down a deep scary cave" stuff and kinda light on the real details, but it would seem that the find consists of at least skull and mandible fragments from three individuals. All three show a very interesting melange of early-modern human and Neandertal traits, providing more evidence that, early on at least, Neandertals and humans interbred.
