Two pelvises from a similar archaeological context have been discovered in recent years in two different caves in Israel. The pelvis from the Qafzeh cave (Qafzeh 9) was dated by means of thermoluminescence at approximately 95 kyr BP. All available measurement values, the most significant being those of the diagnostic obturator region, fall within those of the modern range. The other pelvis emanates from the Kebara cave and differs fundamentally from modern pelvises and from the Qafzeh specimen, although the Kebara pelvis is 30,000 years younger than the latter. As in other remains of Neandertal pelvises, the superior pubic ramus of the Kebara hominid is extremely long and slender and exhibits a cross section unlike that of modern humans. The absolute height of the obturator region is very small. It is these measurements and proportions that set the Kebara pelvis apart from both modern pelvises and the specimen from Qafzeh. The morphological differences and the chronological relationship between the two fossil pelvises support the concept of two distinct evolutionary lineages for these hominids.
近年来，在以色列的两个不同洞穴中发现了来自相似考古背景的两具骨盆。来自卡夫泽洞穴（卡夫泽9号）的骨盆通过热释光测定年代约为距今9.5万年。所有可用的测量值，其中最重要的是诊断性闭孔区域的测量值，都落在现代范围之内。另一具骨盆来自凯巴拉洞穴，与现代骨盆以及卡夫泽标本有根本区别，尽管凯巴拉骨盆比后者晚3万年。与其他尼安德特人骨盆遗骸一样，凯巴拉原始人的耻骨上支极长且纤细，其横截面与现代人不同。闭孔区域的绝对高度非常小。正是这些测量值和比例使凯巴拉骨盆与现代骨盆以及卡夫泽标本区分开来。这两具化石骨盆的形态差异和年代关系支持了这些原始人存在两个不同进化谱系的概念。
