"45,000-Year-Old Man Was Human-Neanderthal Mix" -- "The man, who lived 45,000 years ago, was definitely related to both humans and Neanderthals, the study published in the journal Nature reports. His DNA showed that the two human groups first mated around 60,000 years ago." -- Nature article: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v514/n7523/full/nature13810.html Ancient Aliens, Pre History, History, Paleontology, Prehistory

"Ochre hand imprint of Homo erectus revealed" -- Pretty fascinating post about this hammerstone with its clear hand imprint. "...what was being observed, was the outline of the ball and thumb of a 500,000 year-old hand...showing [a right-handed] Homo erectus was undoubtedly using this as a form of paint at the site of Lehberg [Austria]... [this] must be regarded as a trace of an extinct species and therefore a ‘trace fossil‘, putting it into the discipline of Palaeontology." COOL!!!
