Reseña del editor

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Skhul/Qafzeh hominids or Qafzeh-Skhul early modern humans are human fossils from Qafzeh and Es Skhul Caves, Israel. The caves are in Mount Qafzeh and are only a few meters apart. The remains are quite robust; exhibiting a mix of archaic and modern traits. They have been tentatively dated at about 80,000-120,000 years old using electron spin resonance and thermoluminescence dating techniques. The brain case is similar to modern humans, but they possess brow ridges and a projecting facial profile, similar to the Neanderthals. They were initially regarded as transitional fossils between Neanderthals and modern humans. However they are now regarded as a separate lineage from the Neanderthals and may represent the first exodus of modern humans from Africa around 125,000 years ago.
