The article was published last month, but a summary is now published in the Atapuerca journal.

The research group has discovered a 40,000-year-old site in northern China, frequented by a population with technologies that do not correspond to those described in sites inhabited by archaic populations in the region. The finding contradicts the idea of a rapid replacement of archaic populations by anatomically modern humans and suggests a period of genetic and cultural hybridisation.
