Russians restore face to 30,000+ year-old Kostenki cave man  According
to a Jan. 1, 2010 BBC news article, by BBC News science reporter, Paul
Rincon, "DNA analyzed from early European," scientists have studied and
extracted DNA from the remains of a 30,000 year old European cave man
who hunted wild mammoths in the region of Kostenki, Russia about five
to ten thousand years before the last ice age began, at a time when
Russia was warmer than it is today. Also, in another study, scientists
found that about 4 percent (from 2% to 5%) of Europeans, East Asians,
Papua-New Guineans, but not any Africans, have inherited Neanderthal
genes, at least traces of them. The prehistoric man is known as the
Markina Gora skeleton.These genes may have been acquired thousands of years ago when bands of roaming Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens possibly mated in the Middle East/Levant or Central Asia area. Homo Sapiens mixed with a few Neanderthals then migrated throughout Asia all the way to China and Papua-New Guinea, then attached to mainland Asia, and then turned West and expanded from Central Asia and India into Europe, carrying traces of Neanderthal genes. At one time, about 60,000 years ago Neanderthals lived in the Levant/Middle East, with Neanderthals and humans eventually retreating back into Europe when the Levant opened up during a warmer interstatial period between two ice ages. By 50,000 years ago, both humans and Neaderthals lived in Europe, but their territories didn't overlap too much. Neanderthals lived in Western Europe, and Homo Sapiens lived mainly in Eastern Europe, until another ice age forced Homo Sapiens further west into Europe, the Cro-Magnons, who settled in refuges during the ice age in Spain, France, Italy, and the Balkans, gradually overtaking the Neaderthal's territory. The last refuge of the Neanderthals was in Western Portugal and Spain. But for a time, Neanderthals and humans shared living spaces or territories in what today is Croatia and Romania.

Police officers in Chechnya have
been firing paintballs at Chechen women with uncovered hair; the
policemen drive by in cars with tinted windows and shoot the women in
the face and neck as they're walking down the street.
German Conservatives said on Monday
that humanitarian concerns should no longer be the only criteria in
accepting immigrants into Germany and suggested they also be required
to take an intelligence test.
