Neanderthal teeth appeared four months earlier than modern humans

Nationalgeographic.co.id—Neanderthal is an ancient human who lived at least 200,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Age. Turns out baby Neanderthal grow faster than any other human counterpart. Researchers investigated fossils found in Croatia and found that tooth Neanderthal grew four months earlier than modern man.

Reported from National History Museum, the researchers suspect this may allow them to start eating more food and give them energy to support the early growth spurt. One of the experts involved in this study, Professor Helen Liversidge who researched Anthropology Tooth at Queen Mary University said that the speed of growth tooth human and Neanderthal is a hot topic of discussion.

“Some say that the latter grow faster, but others argue that they fall within the range of human variation,” Professor Helen Liversidge told National History Museum.

“This is the first time we have tooth baby Neanderthal what we can conclude from the growth of the roots, is tooth it erupted early or not. We found that it seems tooth grow faster and tooth their milk grew earlier than today’s humans,” he continued.

The findings of these experts have been published on the Proceedings of The Royal Society B page under the title Growth of Neanderthal infants from Krapina (120-130 ka), Croatia on November 24, 2021. In this study, experts used the findings tooth from the Krapina region, Croatia. There have been found bones up to 80 Neanderthal.

The research team used tooth the firstborn obtained from excavations at the site to investigate how Neanderthal grow during the earliest part of their growth. Through tooth there’s a lot to know about a person.
