Did you know the 1st recognised #Neanderthal skeleton was initially believed to be a deformed #Russian?

In 1856, a skull was found near Düsseldorf. Anatomist August Mayer examined the #bones & concluded that the strong pelvis was the result of riding & that the pronounced brows were from worrying from pain. He thought him a Russian Cossack from the Napoleonic War.

Another anatomist, Hermann Schaaffhausen, had actually correctly identified the bones - but he wasn't popular.

This is a photo of the skull cap of "Neanderthal 1" - the fossil mentioned in the post. It shows the very upper part of a humanoid skull, including the brow bridge. The skull is a deep sand colour, looking somewhat uneven. The bones appear very thick. The brow bridge is very prominent, shaped almost like a rounded "m". The background is white.
This is a charcoal drawing of Hermann Schaaffhausen, the man who correctly identified the fossil but was dismissed due to being unpopular. It shows a man in his thirtieth or forties, from the mid 19 hundreds. He wears a jacket, waistcoat and white starched shirt, with a minimal collar and a small black bowtie. His face is round, somewhat overweight, and enclosed by a trimmed beard which covers his chin, cheeks and all the way to his ears. He has no facial hair otherwise. His hair is styled in an almost-bob, ending just above his ears. He has a deep parting on the right, with the rest combed over to the left. His eyes are small but lively, with gently shaped brows. His nose is average, neither up-nor down turned. His cheeks are overly full. His mouth has a large lower-than-upper lip and is set in a mild smile.

We examined variation in dental traits in four sympatric morphs of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) which differ in feeding specialisations, head and jaw bone morphology.
