Image: Le Moustier Homo neanderthalensis skull angled view
Cast of the Le Moustier skull, a 45,000-year-old skull discovered in Le Moustier, France. The distinctive features of Neanderthals are already apparent in this adolescent individual. This shows that these characteristics were genetic and not developed during an individual’s lifetime.
