I’m speaking up for the much-maligned Neanderthals today on this Father’s Day, but not merely because many of us have a bit (1 to 2%) of Neanderthal DNA in our chromosomes [1] and not merely because this population lasted until only 25,000 years ago. It’s mostly because I just now stumbled upon this pretty cool Neanderthal reconstruction by Tom Bjorklundart [1] of what a Neanderthal parent and child might have looked like.
Happy father’s day!
This Neanderthal reconstruction by Tom Björklund seems fitting for the occasion. pic.twitter.com/T33pEMdAfO [2]
