Early Modern Man
This man is more commonly known as ‘Early Modern Man’. The research that has been conducted on him has further proved the theory of modern humans and neanderthals living together 40,000 years ago. However, a possible overlap may have also occurred during this time. Early Modern Man’s remains were discovered in Europe along with various tools made by modern humans further prove this theory.

Kennewick Man
Kennewick Man was discovered on a riverbank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington. It is also assumed that he was one of the most complete skeletons ever found. After his skeleton was studied for decades, in 2015, it was found that he had the most similar DNA to Native Americans. His remains were then returned for reburial as the Umatilla people and other tribes demanded this. What’s remarkable is the fact that he actually became part of a 9-year court case between scientists and tribal people.
