Summary:

"The reigning theory of human evolution maintains that the Cro-Magnons superseded the Neanderthals, who vanished entirely roughly 28,000 years ago. A recent discovery in Portugal's Lapedo Valley suggests another possibility. This video examines the body of the Lapedo child, whose Cro-Magnon chin and lower arms and Neanderthal jaw and build suggest he was the result of interbreeding between the species. It considers the veracity of this claim and discusses potential implications for evolutionary theorists"--Producer's website.
