In October 2018, scientists announced the 3-D virtual reconstruction, for the first time, of a Neanderthal rib cage, which may help researchers better understand how this ancient human species moved and breathed. [10] [11] In February 2019, scientists reported evidence that Neanderthals walked upright much like modern humans. [12] [13] Cranial
