Does Wounded Skull Hint at Neandertal Nursing?

0

European researchers have investigated a 36,000-year-old case of assault and battery. Their conclusion: the victim, a Neandertal, possibly male, received a violent blow to the head. Presumably he survived, however, because somebody nursed him back to health. In a study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Christoph Zollikofer, a biologist at the University of Zrich, used a computer to reconstruct a skull revealing the features of a Neandertal man who lived about 6,000 years, before the species became extinct.
