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

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.

"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.
