"
A multidisciplinary team of anthropologists reported the first discovery of skeletal remains of a Neanderthal child with Down syndrome in a cave in Valencia, Spain. The find has major implications for the social lives of Neanderthals and sheds light on the altruism of archaic humans. Micro-computed tomography scans of the child's right temporal bone showed a congenital inner-ear malformation associated with Down syndrome. The child, who the researchers named Tina, survived to about six years of age, but would have required extensive care from adults.
"
basically they looked after a little girl with Downs Syndrome.
"Nice" isn't how I'd put it.
They were the first *True Men* in this World.
