Warsaw, Poland 3 February, 2010 - Polish scientists made a remarkable archeological discovery when, for the first time, to their collection of Neanderthal artifacts they could add human remains.

The location of the discovered remains in the Stajnia Cave of the Carpathian mountains also suggests a burial site which gives us new information into our ancestors, their spirituality and level of intellect.

It was previously assumed that the prehistoric primate used to deal with their deceased in such a way that would prevent ever finding their remains.

The discovery was actually made in 2008 when scientists dug up a big, brown molar. The tooth was DNA tested and showed it’s owner was a 20-year-old male. It also had pieces of wood on it suggesting the tooth pick was invented tens of thousands of years ago.

It took scientists two years to double and triple check their find before announcing it to the world.

They also used this time to abolish previous theories about Neanderthal societies and come up with entirely new hypotheses.

Many items dating back to the age of the Neanderthal from, 250 to 23 thousand years ago have been dug up in Poland since the 19th century.

The Neanderthal has been christened Bobolus by the children of the man on who’s property in the Cracow-Czêstochowa region the discovery was made.

Prior to the discovery scientists were convinced they would never find Neanderthal bones in Poland. They said they were just in the right place at the right time.
