Recent sapiens fossil shows neanderthal progenitor

A jawbone unearthed in Romania of a man who lived about 40,000 years ago, boasts the most Neanderthal ancestry ever seen in a member of our species.  The finding also indicates that interbreeding with Neanderthals occurred much more recently than previously known.  One of the very first modern humans known from Europe had a Neanderthal ancestor just four to six generations back in his family tree.  He carries more Neanderthal DNA than any other present-day or ancient modern human seen to date.
