And DNA tests say, it's so,
Humanoids did interbreed
With Neanderthals, years ago.
But when did Man leave Africa's lands
For Europe, and its colder tracts?
This timing well to understand,
There exist few artifacts.
Now a research report appeared,
Describing studies of a find:
A skull was checked, for seven years,
Of a most revealing kind.
In a cave, in Galilee
A skull of undetermined sex
Was found, and it appeared to be
Of Man, with Neanderthal aspects...
In this cave – it's called Manot
Neanderthals were known to dwell,
And now, it seems, this very spot
Was home to modern Man, as well.
It took more than 50,000 years
To find this fossil, and to solve
A puzzle of our ancient peers,
And how the human race evolved...
