I guess disease did not start with the fucking garden of "eden."
Quote:r the first time, a bone tumor has been found in a Neanderthal rib bone dated to about 120,000 years ago. The rib was recovered at a site near Krapina in present-day Croatia.
The tumor, a form of cancer called fibrous dysplasia, predates previous evidence of such by more than 100,000 years. Prior to this, the earliest known bone cancers were detected in samples approximately 1,000-4,000 years old.
Quote:"This case shows that Neandertals, living in an unpolluted environment, were susceptible to the same kind of cancer as living humans."
