Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Kwaiva rufu runotyisa urwo rwuri zvinhu zvezviroto zvakaipa zvavanhu vazhinjisa. Zvino masayendisiti akaziva munhu ane nhamo ane mapfupa akawanwa akasanganiswa nemadziro e bako muLamalunga, pedyo neAltamura, kumaodzanyemba kweItaly. Vachishandisa kuongorora DNA yakabviswa mumapfupa aibuda mudombo rematombo erima, vatsvakurudzi vakawana kuti akanga ari muNeanderthal uyo akawira mugomba rakadzika makore anenge 150 000 akapfuura. Dzorera pasi kuti uone vhidhiyo. Kuongorora kwedzinza remapfupa (ari pamusoro) e"Munhu weAltamura", akawanikwa akavigwa mudombo rechimedu mubako muAltamura, Italy, kwakaratidza kuti ndeomunhu weNeanderthal akawira mubako makore 128 000 kusvika ku 187 000 akapfuura. Akasungirirwa munzvimbo yakamanikana uye zvichida akakuvadzwa zvakakomba, anofungidzirwa kuva akafa nenzara. Muzviuru zvemakore zvakatevera, muviri wacho wakaora uye mapfupa akanga asara zvishoma nezvishoma akabatanidzwa mumatombo akasiyiwa nemvura yaidonha pamadziro epasuo. DNA ndiyo yakarebesa yati yambowanwa muNeanderthal uye vatsvakurudzi zvino vanotarisira kunzverazve mashoko omuzvarirwo anobva mumapfupa. Vane mukurumbira wezvisikwa zvine utsinye zvikuru zvairuma nyama yakawanda, asi kunoratidzika kuti vaNeanderthal vangave chaizvoizvo vakanga vari vakuru vakuru vokutanga. Kutsvakurudza kutsva kuri kupa pfungwa yokuti vanhu vapakuvamba ava vakatsakatika vangave vakashandisa miriwo yomusango kuti vanake zvokudya zvavo. Masayendisiti akawana zvisaririra zvezvinhu zvinowanikwa mucamomile neyarrow muplaque yakaoma yamazino eNeanderthal ane makore 50 000 okuberekwa akawanikwa muEl Sidron, Spain. Pakutanga vatsvakurudzi vakafunga kuti vangave vakanga vachishandisa miti iyi sorudzi rwokuzvirapa, asi zvino zvakawanwa zvitsva zvakabudisa pfungwa yakasiyana. Dr. Sabrina Krief, mudzidzisi paNational Museum of Natural History muParis, nevamwe vake vanokarakadza kuti vangave vakaashandisa kuita kuti zvokudya zvinake zvikuru. Kutanga kuwanwa muna 1993, marangwanda - ainzi 'Munhu weAltamura' - akamutsa gakava pakati penyanzvi dzemadzinza evanhu zvikurukuru nemhaka yezvinetso mukudzidza marangwanda sezvo akanga ava rutivi rwegomba...
Altamura Man akawanikwa mubako muLamalunga pedyo neAltamura, Italy. Vatsvakurudzi vanoti mutumbi wacho wave uri mubako kwemakore 128,000 kusvika ku187,000. Masayendisiti akawana DNA yakaratidza kuti mapfupa aiva evanhu vekare. Vanoti DNA inogona kuzivisa mashoko matsva pamusoro pekushanduka-shanduka kwevanhu.
