Face of Neanderthal 'Altamura Man' Recreated


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The calcite-encrusted face of a Neanderthal who lived around 150,000 years ago has come alive as researchers reconstructed a hyper-realistic model of his face and body.

The fossilized complete skeleton, known as the Altamura Man, is the most ancient Neanderthal from which portions of genetic material DNA have been extracted.

Discovered in 1993 in the karstic cave of Lamalunga, near the town of Altamura in Puglia, the skeleton has been shown in a life-size model complete with hair, beard and moustache.
