Most of a human face found in northern Spain belongs to HomoÂ affinisÂ erectus, researchers say.

The fossil is the oldest known evidence of hominins in western Europe .

Homo antecessor, an archaic human species whose roughly 900,000 -year-old remains were previously found at the same site, according to the research.

The discovery indicates that the human population in Europe turned over at the end of the Early Pleistocene .

A team of paleoanthropologists found evidence of similar behaviors in Neanderthal and early modern human groups that inhabited the Levant around 100,000 years ago .

Neanderthals are now gone, but they were such close relatives of our own species that the two groups interbred, and Neanderthal DNA persists in our genomes.
