A Swiss-Syrian archaeology team in Syria has excavated the remains of an extinct camel species previously unknown to science. The giant camel bones are believed to be 100,000 years old. Remains of Homo sapiens from the same time period have also been found at the site. The human's bone structure, however, does not match the speciman's tooth, the latter find more Neanderthal in appearance. Scientists hope further excavation will yield more answers.
