Neanderthal dentistry discovered

Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a precise dental procedure performed on a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth.

The find suggests that these early humans possessed significant cognitive ability and technical dexterity.

Microscopic analysis revealed a hole that appears to have been drilled into a molar to treat a painful cavity.

This discovery challenges the traditional view of Neanderthals as primitive and indicates they provided sophisticated social and medical support within their communities.
