See stunning likeness of Zlatý kůň, the oldest modern human to be genetically sequenced News

Researchers created a facial approximation of a 45,000-year-old individual who is believed to be the oldest anatomically modern human ever to be genetically sequenced.

In 1950, archaeologists discovered a severed skull buried deep inside a cave system in Czechia (the Czech Republic). Because the skull was split in half, researchers concluded that the skeletal remains were of two separate individuals. However, through genome sequencing done decades later, scientists concluded that the skull actually belonged to a single person: a woman who lived 45,000 years ago.

Researchers named her the Zlatý kůň woman, or "golden horse" in Czech, in a nod to a hill above the cave system. Further analysis of her DNA revealed that her genome carried roughly 3% Neanderthal ancestry, that she was part of a population of early modern humans who likely mated with Neanderthals and that her genome was the oldest modern human genome ever to be sequenced.

Doesn’t look a day over 30,000.................and the cave woman too...............

[SkyDancer]

Yep. There’s your proof.

[ConservativeInPA]

I think your pictorial just demonstrated the validity of devolution. Seriously, which picture looks like a modern human?

[CIB-173RDABN]

Wow!

[old school]

Excellent!

This sounds like the beginning of a horror movie script....

They didn’t consider that there was probably a VERY good reason that this particular woman’s head was removed, taken into a cave, split in two and buried... and yet, the DNA was viable still....

The article itself states they have no genetic information that would allow them to depict skin color or soft facial features. This is just black Marxism blackwashing ancient history. This is the same scam as the Google results of American inventors.

Because the skull was split in half.

Would be very interested to know what her crime was

[BenLurkin]

Her name was Slutty Cun ?

[PGR88]

belonged to a single person: a woman who lived 45,000 years ago.

It seems these scientists are able to define what a woman is.

I had the chance to see a picture of one of these recreations and a picture of the actual person—***no*** resmblance.

Yet another scam.

[Tommy Revolts]

That one definitely mated with Neanderthal.

[smokingfrog]

I saw her at the 7-11 last week buying some Bud Light.

[Boogieman]

Reconstruction czechs out.

[Boogieman]

Well, I’d wager the skull wasn’t split open as a form of execution, but to get at the tasty vittles inside.

Anthropologists don’t like to talk about it, but cannibalism was an almost universal practice at that stage of human history.

Wasn't me.
