BBC News - DNA identifies new ancient human dubbed 'X-woman'
by Shannon at 9:34 pm EDT, Mar 25, 2010

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of ancient human through analysis of DNA from a finger bone unearthed in a Siberian cave.

The extinct "hominin" (human-like creature) lived in Central Asia between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago.

An international team has sequenced genetic material from the fossil showing that it is distinct from that of Neanderthals and modern humans.
