Model of a neanderthal man in modern clothing
Neanderthal man. Model of a neanderthal man (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) dressed in modern clothing. Neanderthals were early humans that lived in Europe and the Middle East about 120- 30, 000 years ago. When dressed in modern clothes this man bears some resemblance to a modern man in appearance. Neanderthals brains were slightly larger than ours, being up to 1750 millilitres in volume. They used tools to make weapons and build homes. The first neanderthal skeleton was found in the Neander Valley, Germany. This model, from an exhibition by Nordstar, was photographed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model of a Neanderthal man dressed in modern clothing, providing us with a glimpse into the lives of these early humans who inhabited Europe and the Middle East thousands of years ago. With his striking appearance, this Neanderthal man bears an uncanny resemblance to our modern selves. Neanderthals possessed slightly larger brains than ours, boasting an impressive volume of up to 1750 millilitres. They were skilled toolmakers, utilizing their expertise to craft weapons and construct homes. The discovery of the first Neanderthal skeleton in Germany's Neander Valley marked a significant milestone in paleoanthropology. Captured at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany, this model is part of an exhibition by Nordstar that delves deep into our ancestral past. It serves as a testament to the incredible advancements made by science and anthropology in unraveling the mysteries surrounding our evolutionary history. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that despite existing millennia apart from us, these ancient hominids share undeniable similarities with Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. This photograph not only celebrates human evolution but also highlights our innate curiosity about where we come from and how far we have come as a species. Photo credit: Science Photo Library
