Fascinating discovery. Bit of a nitpick/sanity check though:
"When compared to other previously sequenced Neanderthal genomes, Thorin’s genome most closely resembled an individual that was excavated roughly 1,000 miles to the northeast in Gibraltar. Slimak speculates that Thorin’s population likely migrated south to France from Gibraltar."
Shouldn't this be southwest and north, respectively, instead?
