TL;DR Summary

Scientists have used a digital model of a broken skull to reveal the face of what may be the oldest human to have lived, a woman who lived 45,000 years ago. The fossilized remains, found in Czechia, are only a portion of the skull, as researchers believe she was consumed by an animal after death. Using recorded measurements and reference images, the international team of academics recreated her face, revealing her dark features. The woman, known as Zlatý kůň or golden horse, was among the first Homo sapiens to live in Eurasia after our species migrated out of Africa and carried about three percent Neanderthal ancestry.
