Long dismissed for being our brutish ancestors, we share more with Neanderthals than we think, and increasingly research is showing us just how much there is in common. Scientists have run computer simulations that have revealed vital information about the evolution of large, broad Neanderthal noses.
These noses have displayed the ability to regulate the cold, dry air of the Ice Age, and meeting high oxygen demand of our ancient cousins (as discovered in a 2018 study). They show that this unique shape survived through inter-species reproduction, currently existing in certain modern humans. The distinctive nose structure influenced its height and length, enduring tens of thousands of years of natural selection before being detected in present times.
