Image: Oase 2 skull (Homo sapiens)
Description: Oase 2 Age: About 41,500–39,500 years old Site: Peştera cu Oase, Romania Year of Discovery: 2003 Discovered by: Ştefan Milota, Ricardo Rodrigo, Oana Moldovan and João Zilhão Age: About 41,500–39,500 years old Species: Homo sapiens This skull looks modern but retains a few archaic traits, such as wide cheek bones. Some scientists wonder if this means that on rare occasions Homo sapiens interbred with Neanderthals, who lived in Europe at the same time. Reference: Oase 2. Human Origins.
