New research conducted by Professor of Anthropology Rofl Quam and graduate student Brian Keeling at Binghamton University sheds new light on the origins of a long-studied mandible fossil. The fossil was discovered in Banyoles, Spain in 1887 and was long thought to belong to a Neandertal. This new research suggests a possible Homo sapiens connection, making it the earliest recorded human presence in Europe.
