I found this at another (less sophisticated than Skadi) site.

The study compared early modern humans (circa 120.000 year old) Palestine material with Neanderthals and UP types from Europe. They concluded that the old Palestine material was intermediate and so was evidence for hybridization. The interesting thing for me is that this H.sapiens migration preceded the Out-of Africa migration at the Horn of Africa by 40,000 years, yet, apparently they all died out since there is no genetic evidence for them as of yet.
Coon visited this hybridization in The Races of Europe and, more specifically, in The Origin of Races, page 529, Fig. 70, "From Neanderthal to Nordic in Wuerm I".
This study would have been hot thirty years ago.
