Sidrón Cave

Sidrón Cave

The Sidrón Cave "(Cueva de El Sidrón" in Spanish) is an ancient cave, in Piloña municipality, Asturias, northwestern Spain, where Paleolithic rock art and Neardenthal reamains have been found.

Neanderthal ancient mtDNA was partially sequenced in HVR region for three distinct neandertals from El Sidrón cave (441, 1253, and 1351c [http://anthropology.net/2007/10/18/neandertals-have-the-same-mutations-in-foxp2-the-language-gene-as-modern-humans/] [http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/22/4/1077] ). 1253 and 1351c have the same mutations at position A-911, G-977 in exon 7 of FOXP2 gene as present day people.
