DNA from Spy Cave Proves Our Ancestry Isn t What We Thought

New DNA evidence connects specific Neanderthals and modern humans in Ice Age Europe, revealing a complex history of interbreeding rather than simple replacement. This new data from sites like Meladec Cave and Spy Cave sheds light on the ancient humans of the Ice Age, challenging previous assumptions about prehistoric humans. We explore ancient lineages from 130,000 to 70,000 years ago, referencing various cave locations across Europe and Asia, to better understand human evolution.
