Prehistoric human bones that could not be matched to any known species from the Homo genus have been unearthed in the quarry of a cement plant near Ramla, Israel.
Dating from 120,000 to 140,000 years ago, the "Nesher Ramla Homo type", as it has been dubbed, would have roamed the area alongside Homo sapiens - the lineage of modern humans.
Dr Hila May: "However, when we looked at these bones, we immediately saw that it's about a different type of human.
Evidence indicates that the "Nesher Ramla" bore a resemblance to the Neanderthals that inhabited Europe.
The team theorise that they may have been the descendants of the "Nesher Ramla".
This upends the established theory that Neanderthals established themselves in Europe, with the Israeli researchers now asserting that they migrated from the Levant, where Israel is located.
Many other geneticists remain dubious.
While they have previously posited the existence of an unknown species of the Homo genus dubbed the "missing population" or the "X population", they stress more work needs to be done to verify the Israeli team's claims.
The Israeli researchers, however, are convinced that they have uncovered the missing link in a land that acted as a melting pot for different human populations.
