CT Imaging of Neandertaler Fossils
In the summer of 1856 quarrymen discovered the fossilised remains of a skeleton in the Neander Valley (Neandertal near Mettmann, Germany), which gave the Neandertaler his name. These fossils have been digitized with computed tomography. The original bones have been provided by the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn.
