La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1, Hominin fossil in Corrèze, France
The skeletal remains include a complete skull and facial bones from a male Neanderthal who reached approximately 40 years of age.
Three archaeologists discovered this Neanderthal skeleton in 1908, marking one of the first complete specimens found in a limestone cave.
The initial study of these remains in 1911 influenced scientific understanding of Neanderthal anatomy and human evolution for several decades.
Scientists continue to examine the specimen to gather information about Neanderthal diet, health conditions, and social behaviors during the Upper Paleolithic period.
The individual's dental condition, with missing molars and severe arthritis, suggests this Neanderthal required assistance from others to process food.
