In fact there was a subheading about this child and they mentioned that "another article in the same issue of PNAS".<br /><br />Yes, I can access the article.

I saw no notice of the Lagar Velho kid. <br /><br />Whatever the case, you should be able to access the paper from India (if you can't, I can send you a copy by email), so judge yourself. The authors emphasize that while some minor elements may be closer to Neanderthal than the average of extant modern humans (most elements are not and in fact align well with our modern standards) this is only because either they still retain some minor archaic tendencies (also apparent in other fossil humans) or because of other "technical" issues. They argue that the simplistic Neanderthal vs AMH is not a really valid approach and all the time they treat the fossil as a modern human of Gravettian culture.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-28664972802720712432010-01-09T17:27:58.923+01:002010-01-09T17:27:58.923+01:00It is noticeable that more and more the support fo...<i>It is noticeable that more and more the support for the specimen being any type of hybrid seems to vanish.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8448660.stm" rel="nofollow"> BBC </a> yet to update.
