challenges a prevailing theory that Neanderthals' over reliance on meat contributed to their extinction around 30,000 years ago

Silly theory. Since some animals are pure carnivores, it doesn't seem likely that a more carnivorous diet would somehow lead to extinction.

Seeing as how reading the fossil record is like reading a book with most of the pages either missing or not yet discovered, perhaps the sophistication of these people demonstrates that they are us. Of great interest is the discovery of likely modern humans in the Middle East with an age of some 400,000 years.

* The early human coexisted with modern humans and Neanderthals.
* This is the first time a human species has been described only from its DNA.
