Neanderthal Skull

3D Model

Modeled from images of a real specimens. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) were a close relative of modern humans that lived across Europe and western Asia during the Pleistocene. They were well adapted to cold environments, with robust bodies and evidence of complex behavior including tool use, symbolic expression, and care for the injured. They declined and ultimately disappeared around 40,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change, competition, and interbreeding with modern humans. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy.
