The German cave where bones of a Neanderthal were first found has been
rediscovered after more than 140 years. Archaeologists working in the
Neanderthal valley, east of Düsseldorf, have found 20 fragments of 40
000-year-old bone in the cave. One fragment fits onto one of the bones
discovered in the 19th century. The fresh finds may be more useful for genetic
analysis than the original bones, which are contaminated after years of
handling.
