La Ferrassie 1 is the name of a male Neanderthal skeleton with a capacity of 1641 cm. Approximately aged around 70-50000 year. Found on a La Ferrassie site in France by Louis Capitan and Denis Peyrony in 1909. Neanderthals are the complete skull type ever invented. The fossilized children, adults, females found that can help researchers to develop how la Ferrasie 1 grows.
La Ferrassie 1, is the most famous name of the Neanderthal skeleton. Now researchers. Asier Gomez-Olivencia of Basque State University (UPV / EHU) is also an anthropologist at Binghamton University Rolf Quam, reportedly has developed new insights.
La Ferrassie 1 is a skeleton of an old man who may be over 50 years old. He died of respiratory distress and fracture disorders that he experienced during his lifetime. And then buried by their relatives. This framework played a significant role historically and as a medium of interpretation of Neanderthal anatomy and life.
This site is proof that the Neanderthals are very concerned about the population of their deaths. So they buried every relative those who died. Not only that, it is estimated that they also perform various rituals of death before burying them. This is evidenced by eight separate skeletal findings, each lined with limestone with a mark underneath.
New approach to new findings
Currently researchers are using several new approaches and new technologies to uncover the secrets behind this Neanderthal framework. In this analysis the researchers used CT and microCT scans and used bone remnants to find out their internal anatomy.
In addition, to produce more than ever, the researchers have also prepared new remnants of the skeleton such as malleus, incus, and stapes (all of which are complete middle-right ossicular earlobes, two vatebral segments and the remainder of the cost.In addition, the study also identifies its pathological lesions such as fractures in bone of the neck and spine.
Meanwhile, to further investigate potential perimortem fractures the researchers supplemented with paleopathological analysis with taphonomic analysis. The results of the study explain that every broken bone occurs after death. Due to the loss of collagen and cracks due to the burden of too heavy soil above it. However, la Ferrasie 1, still allows us to discover new things into Neanderthal anatomy and behavior.
Neanderthal Facts
compared with modern humans, shorter Neanderthals with a larger portion of the body. And possess high 164 - 168 cm, with the size of the skull capacity averages between men and women ranging from 1,600 cm 3 (98 cu in), 1,300 cm3 (79 cu in). This is the range of numbers on the skulls of modern humans in General.
Evidence of Neanderthal DNA mixing with modern population been found since 2010. Evidence of mixing both found in both European and Asian populations. But this is not the case in Africa. It shows that cross-mated with modern humans Neandertal happens after they do the migration out of Africa.
studies have proven that their DNA is only slightly different, that is 0.12%. Neanderthals appeared about 200 years ago but suddenly lost at about 160,000 years after that. []
