A facial approximation reveals what Zuzu, a man who lived 9,600 years ago in Brazil, may have looked like.
In 1997, archaeologists unearthed a skeleton buried in the fetal position at Toca dos Coqueiros, an archaeological site in Brazil's Serra da Capivara National Park. Based on the size and shape of the skull, they identified the remains as female and named the skeleton Zuzu. But that classification has remained steeped in controversy , with many researchers claiming the deceased was actually male.
To inform their work, they used computerized tomography from living virtual donors and applied that information to"adjust the structure of the skull" by including tissue thickness markers, study co-author Cícero Moraes , a Brazilian graphics expert, told Live Science in an email."[We] adjust the structure of the skull to transform the donor's skull into a volume almost equal to Zuzu's skull," Moraes said.
