The Neanderthal
On May 7, 2010 CNN posted an article about findings of neanderthal bones. These bones belong to three females and they were found in the Vindija Cave in Croatia. Scientists believe that the remains are 38,000 years old. From these findings, scientists have been able to map 60 percent of the genome. This is significant because now scientists are able to compare these findings with ones that are found in humans across the world today.

That is cool because we can use those findings to try and find their DNA in humans today.
