How do we study ancient bones?

Scientists study ancient bones, like those of Neanderthals, using techniques such as 3D imaging and comparative anatomy. By analysing their shape and structure, researchers can infer how these ancient humans moved, gave birth, and lived. This helps us understand evolutionary changes and challenge long-held assumptions about our ancestors.
