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

TL;DR Summary
A facial approximation of the Zlatý kůň woman, the oldest modern human to be genetically sequenced, has been created using data from computed tomography scans of her skull. The woman lived 45,000 years ago and her genome carries roughly 3% Neanderthal ancestry. The facial approximation reveals a woman with dark, curly hair and brown eyes, and a robust jawline that is more compatible with Neanderthals than modern humans. However, much about her remains a mystery, and the approximation provides only a speculative representation of her soft tissues.
