Skeleton reveals early humans had sex with Neanderthals – BBC News
In 1998, the skeleton of a 29,000-year-old child was unearthed in Portugal’s Lapedo valley.
The child had both early modern human and Neanderthal features, including the chin and lower arms of a modern human but the jaw and build of a Neanderthal.
Researchers believed that the child’s anatomy was the result of mixed Neandertal-early modern human ancestry.
Now new archaeological and DNA techniques may hold the answer.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire co-owner of Manchester United, has told BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan that the football club has “come off the rails”.
The 72-year-old spent £1.3 billion buying a 29% stake in the club in 2024, in a deal which saw Ineos take control of football operations. Ratcliffe, a lifelong Manchester United fan, is chairman of the petrochemicals company which has a big sport investment arm.
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport earlier this month Ratcliffe addressed the side’s recent struggles on the pitch, as they languish in the bottom third of the Premier League table.
He said some Manchester United players are “not good enough” and some are “overpaid”. Midfielder Casemiro, striker Rasmus Hojlund, goalkeeper Andre Onana, and wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho – who are on loan at other clubs – were name-checked by the billionaire as players his regime had “inherited”.
Ratcliffe also spoke of the club’s financial difficulties, saying it was set to run out of money by the end of 2025, unless it took action which he admitted was “unpopular”.
Yet despite the financial and team issues he referred to, Ratcliffe repeated a pledge that Manchester United would win silverware by 2028.

Today, we look at the fall out after a journalist revealed that he had been mistakenly added to a groupchat where US security leaders were discussing air strikes in Yemen.
Many of the security officials on the Signal app chat have been testifying at a worldwide threat assessment hearing in the Senate.
Adam is joined by BBC chief presenter in Washington Caitríona Perry and former Pentagon top US government security official Celeste Wallander.
Plus, a lawyer investigating former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has found “credible evidence” he and his staff mistreated two female team members. He denies the allegations. Chris is on to explain what’s happening.

President Trump has launched a blistering attack on the journalist who was added to a group chat by the administration’s top security officials, who then discussed top-secret war plans about an attack on Yemen.
Mr Trump called Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic magazine, “a total sleazebag” and tried to play down the significance of the security breach.
The White House had earlier confirmed that Mr Goldberg was inadvertently added to the insecure Signal chat in which leading US national security officials and the Vice-President debated and planned the military assault on Houthi rebels.
Mr Goldberg read Signal messages between Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among other senior officials.. He saw details of classified military plans for the US strikes two hours before they began, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timings.
Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from the White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.
Senior Democrats called the blunder “one of the most stunning military breaches of recent times” and officials involved were grilled by the Congress about their actions.
“The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
On 15 March the US launchedwhat it described as a “decisive and powerful” series of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Four days earlier, on 11 March, Atlantic editor-in-chief Goldberg says he received the connection request on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account that purported to be Mr Waltz’s. Signal is used by journalists and Washington officials because of the secure nature of its communications, the ability to create aliases, and to send disappearing messages.
Two days later, Goldberg said he was added to a Signal chat entitled “Houthi PC small group.” A number of accounts that appeared to belong to cabinet members and national security officials were included in the 18-person chat, Goldberg reported. Accounts labelled “JD Vance”, the name of the vice-president; “Pete Hegseth,” the defence secretary; and “John Ratcliffe,” director of the Central Intelligence Agency; were among names in the chain.
Top national security officials from various agencies also appeared in it, including Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This is the Sudan military’s most significant advance in nearly two years of civil war – recapturing a potent symbol of sovereignty from its rival armed group along with much of central Khartoum.
A power struggle between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) exploded into conflict in April 2023 and has created what the United Nations called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The military now believes it’s on course to retake the rest of the capital from the RSF. That could reset the direction of the war or harden the territorial division that divides the country between the two foes.
Our correspondent Barbara Plett Usher was at a military staging point when the latest offensive was launched, and looks at how civilians bear the brunt of the country’s brutal conflict.
