TL;DR: The sample shows a consistent morphological pattern with derived Neandertal features present in the face and anterior vault, many of which are related to the masticatory apparatus, pointing to a mosaic pattern of evolution.

TL;DR: mtDNA of Bronze Age cattle from the Portalón cave at the Atapuerca site in northern Spain showed the haplotype T1, of African origin, which indicates prehistoric African-Iberian contacts and lends support to archaeological finds linking early African and Iberian cultures.

TL;DR: Systematic excavations at the Valdegoba cave site in northern Spain have yielded the remains of five individuals associated with a Middle Paleolithic stone tool technology and Pleistocene fauna, showing a combination of archaic characteristics as well as more specific Neandertal morphological traits.
