THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SPECIES:
Skull discovery suggests location where humans first had sex with Neanderthals (Ian Sample, 28 January 2015, The Guardian)
An ancient skull found in a cave in northern Israel has cast light on the migration of modern humans out of Africa and the dawn of humanity's colonisation of the world.For most palaeontologists that might be enough for a single fossil, but the braincase has offered much more: a likely location where the first prehistoric trysts resulted in modern humans having sex with their heavy-browed Neanderthal cousins.
