Cro-Stajnia

I think the Stajnia cave is pronounced sty-nia. Whatever the Neanders called it, they were there. The article focuses on their women (or mothers), by mitochondrial DNA.

The chart in this article is ... pretty bad, to be supplemented with this one. The two charts don't really overlap inasmuch as our topic handles a group clustering with Thorin and a couple Mesmaskaya (1 and 3; plus, lately Peshturina 3). The earlier paper was handing Goyet, primarily, products of the great MIS 3 replacement.

The Stajnia timespan is done by molecular branch shortening rather than radiocarbon or something, anyway difficult so long back. That points earlier, MIS 5 from the fabled Eemian on. Sadly we're not able to bring the Timshemet; their DNA hasn't been recovered.
