- [Why "Manot"? Is it the first Man? No, Manot (Hebrew, מָנוֹת, literally "Portions") is a moshav in northern Israel/Palestine. It is located near Shlomi and it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 360 occupiers. It was "established" in 1980 by residents of other local moshavim with assistance from the Jewish Agency (aka the "Palestine Zionist Executive"). It was named after the ruins of a settlement in the area, also called Manot.]
He and others presented the finding in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The skull, which lacks facial features and its base, was found in Manot Cave in the Galilee region of northern Israel [upper Palestine near Lebanon and Syria].

Experts not connected with the work were impressed. "This is the first evidence we have of the humans who made this journey," apart from some ancient tools, said Eric Delson of Lehman College and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Although finding a fossil that fits so well with what was thought about the ancient migration might be expected, "we didn't have it before," he said.
"We could predict theoretically what we would find. They've found it....Up until now, that was a ghost."
Katerina Harvati of the University of Tuebingin in Germany said the skull gives clues about the anatomy of the migrants. Because Neanderthals were known to inhabit the area, the skull also documents that they and modern humans co-existed there, as suspected, Harvati said.

If the researchers can analyze the skull's DNA, they could determine whether Manot was actually a hybrid -- the result of interbreeding -- or just lived in close proximity to these extinct relatives of ours. More
