Preparing neanderthal bones for DNA extraction
MODEL RELEASED. Neanderthal genetics. Technician prepares a sample of bone from a fossil of a neanderthal human, Homo sapiens neanderthalis, for an analysis of its DNA genetic material. Neander- thals were early humans who lived in Europe and the Middle East from 100, 000 to 30, 000 years ago. Compared to modern humans, neanderthals had a relatively large face with a sloping forehead, brow ridge and no chin. It has been suggested that neanderthals were the ancestors of modern Europ- eans. Comparisons of DNA extracted from neander- thal fossils with modern DNA have shown that they were unlikely to have been. Photographed in Svante Paabos laboratory at Munich University, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a groundbreaking moment in the field of neanderthal genetics. A skilled technician, whose identity is protected by a model release, meticulously prepares a sample of bone from a fossilized neanderthal human for DNA extraction. The ancient bones belong to Homo sapiens neanderthalis, an early human species that inhabited Europe and the Middle East between 100,000 and 30,000 years ago. Neanderthals possessed distinct physical features such as a prominent brow ridge, sloping forehead, and lack of chin when compared to modern humans. This has led some to speculate that they may have been our direct ancestors. However, research conducted at Svante Paabo's laboratory in Munich University challenges this notion. By analyzing the genetic material extracted from these neanderthal fossils and comparing it with modern DNA samples, scientists aim to unravel the true relationship between neanderthals and contemporary Europeans. Thus far, their findings suggest that neanderthals were unlikely to be direct ancestors but rather an evolutionary branch separate from Homo sapiens. This photograph captures not only the meticulous scientific process involved in extracting ancient DNA but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our origins. It serves as a testament to the tireless efforts undertaken by paleontologists and anthropologists who delve into our past through genetic tests like this one – shedding light on our shared history with these enigmatic hominids known as Neanderthals.
