A genetic study of 1,007 men across Europe and the Middle East found that 95% of them could be traced to one of 10 family trees. Two of these lineages probably migrated from the Middle East to Europe in separate waves between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago during the Palaeolithic period. The others were thought to have arrived later during a post-glacial Neolithic migration from the Middle East and Siberia between about 6,000 and 9,000 years ago.

Doug Broadfield and his colleagues at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York reported that analysis of the nearly complete cranium determined that it belonged to an ancestor of modern humans, even though the female lived among a species whose fossils have not revealed such brain speciality. Broadfield, a physical anthropologist starting out in the field, was asked last year to study the fossil, which originated in Indonesia and turned up in Manhattan last year. It only took a moment before he realized that he was looking at a Homo erectus, but something was off. In other fossils of the time, the skull looks like a rugby football. But this was different, rounded and globular like a human brain.
