Ka taƙaita labarin:  Zuwan wani rukunin mutane na zamani a Turai shekaru 40,000 da suka gabata ya taka rawa a mutuwar Neanderthals, masana kimiyya sun yi iƙirarin. Neanderthals sune jinsunan mutane masu rinjaye a Turai da kuma yawancin Asiya na kimanin shekaru 250,000 kafin su ɓace gaba daya shekaru 41,000 da suka wuce.

Masana kimiyya sun ɗauki CT scan na hakora da aka samo a Riparo Bombrini a yammacin Ligurian Alps (hagu) da kuma a cikin Grotta di Fumane a yammacin Lessini Mountains (dama), duka a Italiya, kuma sun gano cewa sun kasance daga kakannin mutanen zamani waɗanda ke cikin ƙungiyar da aka sani da al'adun Protoaurignacian. Sun sami damar nuna cewa hakoran jariri na dā da aka samo a wurare biyu na zamanin dā a arewacin Italiya na mutanen zamani ne daga wannan al'ada.

An gano wani incisor a Riparo Bombrini a yammacin Ligurian Alps a shekarar 1976, kuma an sami wani babban incisor a shekarar 1992, a cikin Grotta di Fumane a yammacin Dutsen Lessini a Italiya suna daga cikin ragowar abubuwa uku da ake tunanin sun kasance na al'adun Protoaurignacian - rukuni na farko na mutane. Dokta Benazzi da abokan aikinsa a Cibiyar Nazarin Ilimin Lafiyar Lafiya ta CNR da ke Pisa, Italiya, wanda aka buga aikinsa a mujallar Science, sun yi amfani da CT scan na haƙori da aka samo a Riparo Bombrini.

An tabbatar da cewa yanka guda biyu da aka gano a arewacin Italiya sun kasance ga mutanen zamani wadanda suka kasance wani bangare na al'adun Protoaurignacian a Turai.
