Summary:
- Archaeologists discovered a 110,000-year-old Neanderthal bone in a Siberian cave, which revealed that two Neanderthals who lived in the same cave were distant relatives, separated by about 10,000 years.
- The bone belonged to a female Neanderthal, and genetic analysis showed that she was related to another Neanderthal who lived in the same cave about 10,000 years later.
- This discovery provides insights into the social structure and migration patterns of Neanderthals, suggesting that they may have returned to the same cave over many generations and maintained connections with their distant relatives.
