From the article:
“ the half-human, half-Neanderthal hybrid child likely lived between 27,780 and 28,850 years ago.”

That’s the range of the dating, not the length of the individual’s life, if that’s what you’re claiming.

So, the 45K years ago end-date for Neanderthal presence in Europe can be brought forward.

They were around and contributing DNA up until more recently than formerly suggested.

Also, I've been watching some pod casts about this and the beginning date for Neanderthals’ presence in Europe gets kicked around a lot. It seems that their presence in Europe goes back further than initially stated and could conflict with the out of Africa story.

I'm waiting for some final consensus on that. I also saw something about a 500K year date for Peking Man that's also at odds with the out of Africa story.
