Anthropologists at the University of Cambridge and Copenhagen University believe that interbreeding between Neanderthals (illustrated right) and humans occurred around 54,000 years ago. A genome taken from a 36,000-year-old skeleton (shown left) has shed new light on the period. The study of DNA recovered from a fossil of one of the earliest known Europeans - a man who lived in western Russia – shows that the genes of the earliest inhabitants of the continent survived the ice age, helping sow the seed for the modern-day population.
