Submission + - DNA from Neandertal relative may shake up human family tree (sciencemag.org)

sciencehabit writes: In a remarkable technical feat, researchers have sequenced DNA from fossils in Spain that are about 300,000 to 400,000 years old and have found an ancestor—or close relative—of Neandertals. The nuclear DNA, which is the oldest ever sequenced from a member of the human family, may push back may the date for the origins of the distinct ancestors of Neandertals and modern humans.
