Scientists have successfully reconstructed the face of a Neanderthal woman, known as Shanidar Z, who lived 75,000 years ago. The facial reconstruction was made possible after her skull, which had been flattened during a rock slide, was painstakingly reassembled by researchers. This significant scientific achievement provides a vivid glimpse into the appearance of Neanderthals and has been unveiled by UK researchers.
