"Neanderthal's 'Softer Side' Unveiled: Handsome Face from 56,000 Years Ago Sheds New Light"
Researchers have reconstructed the face of a Neanderthal man who lived 56,000 years ago using skeletal remains found in France. The reconstruction reveals an old man with a long beard and suffering from severe periodontal disease. The study suggests that this could be one of the earliest documented cases of zoonotic infectious disease spillover. The Neanderthal man's face, reconstructed using computed tomography scans, provides insights into the appearance and health conditions of our ancient relatives.
"Scientists Reveal Face of Oldest Human Ever: A Glimpse into Life 45,000 Years Ago"
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.
