Lapedo Child, The
- Synopsis
- The accepted theory regarding the emergence of humans is that Neanderthals were superseded by Cro-Magnons, eventually vanishing altogether around 28,000 years ago. However, a recent discovery in the Lapedo Valley of Portugal casts doubt on this. With the chin and lower arms of a human, but the jaw and build of a Neanderthal, the Lapedo child appears to be a hybrid, the result of interbreeding between the two species. Scientists disagree as to the veracity of this claim, but if it is true, the implications for evolutionary theorists are tremendous.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
