[:es]Asturiaseko El Sidrón kobazuloan aurkitutako haur neandertal baten eskeletuak datu baliagarriak eman ditu hobeto ezagutzeko nola garatzen zen neandertalen garuna. Antza, hil zenean 7 urte eta 8 hilabeteko adina zuen haur neandertalak, baina bere garunak bolumenaren % 87,5 baino ez zuen lortu artean. Gure espeziean, adin horretarako ia guztiz garatuta dago garuna, eta 5-6 urteko…
