Original Title: A fossilised Neanderthal, found in France and nicknamed ‘Thorin’, is from an ancient and previously undescribed genetic line that separated from other Neanderthals around 100,000 years ago and remained isolated for more than 50,000 years, right up until our ancient cousins went extinct.
