In 1868, some prehistoric Homo sapiens remains were found in southwestern France, named croomanu. Recently the research team reconstructed the skull of one of the men, and we can see his face, which has many fibroids on his face.
The research team recently reconstructed the skull of a male French prehistoric Homo sapiens, the Krumanu, who thought he might have a disease and had many neurofibromas on his face.
In 1868, French prehistory scholar Louis Lartet found five remains in the prehistoric site of the dordogne department in southwestern France, calling them "Cro Magnons", estimated that they lived about 28,000 years ago, and this year marks the 150th anniversary of their discovery.
This archaeological discovery was a major event at the time, the Krumanu belonged to a branch of Homo sapiens, close to modern humans in an anatomic sense, and the French called these remains "distant ancestors".
The excavated skulls had traces of ochre paint and some ornaments next to them, so the team speculated that it was a cemetery, and that some sort of funerary may have been in place at the time.
The remains, currently in the collection of the Musee de l'Homme in Paris, were studied by a team, and one of the indicator male skulls was named "Krumanu I".
After the diagnosis and examination of the research team, the appearance of "Krumanu I" was reproduced, he may have suffered from a genetic disease, and many benign nodular tissues grew on his face, of which a large one grew on his forehead. The report was published today in the medical journal The Lancet.
Le Monde quoted Philippe Charlier as saying that "Krumanu I" may have a neurofibromatosis with tumor-like tissue on the forehead, around the nose, and on the lips, and the left inner ear canal may also be damaged by a tumor that grows larger and larger.
The remains of the Krumanu have been unearthed for 150 years, but the research team still knows little about these distant ancestors, even the cause of death is uncertain, and the research is still a long way to go.
