Neanderthal teeth found in Polish cave
Polish scientists have claimed that they have discovered three Neanderthal teeth in a cave.
The teeth are believed to be the first human Neanderthal remains ever discovered in Poland.
Szczecin University archaeologist Mikolaj Urbanowski revealed that the teeth had been discovered in the Stajnia Cave, near the Carpathian Mountains.
Cave bear, woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros bones were also reportedly discovered along with flint tools.
Reports suggest that the bear bones had cut marks on them which indicated that the creature had been eaten by Neanderthals.
Urbanowski said that the molar discovered belonged to a 20-year-old Neanderthal.
He claimed that analysis had revealed that the other two teeth also belonged to people that lived around 100,000 years ago.
