World-famous Skeleton: The Neanderthal Who Gave His Species Its Name

The Neanderthal skull in the Bonn Museum shows traces of a chronic sinus infection, and further bone parts found in the Neanderthal valley indicate burial. Despite severe disability, the Neanderthal lived for 42-43 years and was supported by his group.

Today's humans carry 1-3% Neanderthal genes affecting Covid-19 and reproduction. The Neanderthals likely died out slowly, not exterminated by Homo sapiens.

They produced thousands of stone tools and intermixed with Homo sapiens. The cause of their extinction remains a mystery.

The Neanderthal Who Gave His Species Its Name

The Neanderthal "Neandertal 1" was found in 1856 in the Neander Valley near Düsseldorf and gave the human species its name. Archaeologist Ralf Schmitz discovered additional bone fragments at the site 20 years ago. The Neanderthal almost exclusively consumed meat, had a severe arm injury that was supported by his group, and died at around 42-43 years of age. Neanderthal genes influence modern humans, but the cause of the Neanderthal's extinction is still unclear.

The Neanderthal who gave his species its name

The Neanderthal, whose skull is preserved in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, lived over 44,000 years ago; he had a severe disability in his left arm, but was supported by his group and reached an age of 42-43 years; researchers have discovered additional bone fragments at the site, including a piece of the nasal septum, and analyzed a tissue sample.

World-famous Skeleton: The Neanderthal, who gave his species its name

Modern humans of non-African origin carry 1-3% Neanderthal genes, as the Neanderthal once interbred with the Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa. These genes have effects on Covid-19 and reproduction. Why the successful human species of the Neanderthal suddenly disappeared is still an unsolved mystery, as extinction by Homo sapiens is considered rather unlikely.

The Neanderthal Who Gave His Species Its Name

The Neanderthal, whose skull is preserved in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, gave the prehistoric human species its name. Researchers have found additional bone fragments such as vertebrae, mandibles, and teeth; a tissue sample from the humerus also helped determine his age of over 44,000 years. Even a piece of the nasal septum came to light.
