The skeleton of a Neanderthal man found in France 1909 has been used to make a recreation of what our prehistoric ancestors probably looked like!

The leg and foot bones led to the conclusion that Neanderthals actually walked upright and not hunched over as was previously believed. The teeth were examined to figure out what they ate and the skeleton was measured to determine the height.

This is exciting since there has been a lot of confusion about what Neanderthals actually looked like. Scientists believe this is the most accurate recreation of our ancestors.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Though Neanderthals are related to modern humans, they are not direct ancestors.
  • Neanderthals are believed to have lived in families just like modern humans.
  • Research shows that they were stocky with larger skulls than ours and had strong arms and hands.
  • They were spread across Europe, Africa and Asia.
  • They became extinct 30,000 years ago.
