Highlights
  • The Altamura findings show the internal nasal cavity resembles that of modern humans, undermining the idea that Neanderthals had specialized warm-air structures.
  • 3D digital modeling from endoscopic imaging will allow tests of how Neanderthals processed air and conserved heat during the Late Pleistocene.
  • The Altamura skull enabled the first preserved internal view and tested assumptions about climate adaptation, reshaping what we know about Neanderthal nasal anatomy.
