Archaeologists have pieced back together the skull of a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal skeleton found in the foothills of Iraq, in what one researcher described as a "high stakes 3D jigsaw puzzle". The reconstruction of the Neanderthal woman's face provides valuable insights into the physical characteristics of our ancient ancestors.

By studying the features of the Neanderthal woman, scientists can better understand the evolutionary history of our species and the unique traits that set us apart from our extinct relatives. The detailed reconstruction offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the lives of Neanderthals and the challenges they faced in their environment.
