Whether these early humans were in fact Homo sapiens or Neanderthals was disputed until morphological analysis of a tooth and mitochondrial DNA of bone fragments established that remains were those of Homo sapiens. In samples F6-620 and AA7-738 identified mitochondrial haplogroup M, in samples WW7-240 and CC7-335 determined the mitochondrial haplogroup N, in sample CC7-2289 identified mitochondrial haplogroup R, in sample of BK-1653 identified mitochondrial haplogroup U8.
The question of whether these early humans were Homo sapiens or Neanderthals was debated until morphological analysis of a tooth and mitochondrial DNA from bone fragments confirmed that the remains belonged to Homo sapiens. Samples F6-620 and AA7-738 were found to have mitochondrial haplogroup M, while samples WW7-240 and CC7-335 showed mitochondrial haplogroup N. Sample CC7-2289 had mitochondrial haplogroup R, and sample BK-1653 had mitochondrial haplogroup U8.
