Abstract

In a rock-shelter in rural Portugal, archaeologists last month found the complete skeleton of a young child of our own lineage who was buried with ceremony perhaps 28,000 years ago. Researchers say the child may prove to be the oldest well-preserved early modern human on the Iberian peninsula. The burial may also provide cultural clues to a pivotal era, when the last of the Neandertals co-existed with modern humans in southern Iberia.
