"Unveiling the Remarkable Resemblance of Zlatý kůň, the World's Oldest Genetically Sequenced Human"

Researchers have created a facial approximation of the Zlatý kůň woman, the oldest modern human to have her genome sequenced. The woman lived 45,000 years ago and her DNA revealed that she had roughly 3% Neanderthal ancestry. Using existing CT scans of her skull and statistical data, researchers reconstructed her face, noting her robust jawline and larger endocranial volume compared to modern humans. The lifelike image depicts a woman with dark, curly hair and brown eyes, providing insight into her possible appearance. However, much about her remains a mystery, as genetic data cannot accurately determine facial characteristics.
