Neanderthal DNA Preserved in 46,000-Year-Old Hand Bones
Archaeologists have recovered Neanderthal DNA from six hand-bone fragments found in Abauntz Cave, Navarre, in what researchers describe as the first direct evidence of Neanderthals in the western Pyrenees. The remains belonged to an adult male who died about 46,000 years ago, only a few thousand years before Neanderthals disappeared from the European fossil record. The discovery gives researchers an unusually precise starting point for reconstructing life in this overlooked corridor between Iberia and the rest of Europe.

Six Bones, One Late Neanderthal
According to an IHPES release, four fragments came from the individual’s right hand: three metacarpals, the long bones of the palm, and a middle finger bone. Two other fragments were initially difficult to identify, but protein analysis showed that they were also human, while genetic tests established that the individual was male. Direct radiocarbon dating placed the bones at roughly 46,000 years old, a rare combination of physical, genetic, and chronological evidence for remains from this period.
