My 2004 power point presentation supporting my senior seminar thesis. My argument at that time was that the hominids found in the ancient Near East were the results of admixture, as there was shared anatomical features, shared culture, time and space. One population was represented rather than two. Vindication came with Svante Paabo's and the Max Planck Institute's nuclear DNA sequencing and subsequent comparisons of Neandertal DNA from three individuals from Croatia and our own DNA.
