Recent Nigerian skull displays primitive archaic traits from interbreeding with modern Africans.

Iwo Eleru skull from Nigeria dated 11,700-16,300 years old. Skull morphology differs greatly from other recent modern Africans. Features long low cranium and prominent supraorbital torus. Most resembles 140,000-year-old Ngaloba skull from Tanzania. Shares traits with 280-350,000-year-old Jebel Irhoud from Morocco. Similar to 90-130,000-year-old Qafzeh-Skhul from Levant. African evolution not linear but involves archaic-modern interbreeding until recent times. Genetics confirms archaic admixture in Africans like Neanderthal in Eurasians. Iwo Eleru exemplifies archaic-modern hybridization within Africa. Early African moderns migrated out but blocked from Europe by Neanderthals. Archaic groups persisted and bred with modern descendants in Africa. Paleoproteomics may reveal deeper Australopithecus hybridization.
