Neanderthal teeth stolen from museum


Recommended Posts

Germany's most primitive teeth have gone missing from the Neanderthal Museum, and embarrassed staff admitted they had not noticed at first, but thought the dentures were out of the display case to be cleaned.

 

The milk tooth from a 12-year-old (Neanderthals were late developers) and an adult molar were discovered in 2002 during an archaeological dig at Mettmann, near Dusseldorf, on the spot where the first Neanderthal skeletal remains were discovered in 1856.
