The creature, nicknamed “Woman X” for the time being, could have lived as recently as 30,000 years ago and appears only distantly related to modern humans or Neanderthals, the researchers reported.

“And it would have lived near to both modern humans and Neanderthals. “There were at least three  different forms of humans in this area 40,000 years ago,” Paabo said.”
