Meet Wilma


Artists and scientists have created the first model of a Neanderthal woman based in part on ancient DNA from 43,000-year-old bones that had been cannibalised.

The model has been nicknamed Wilma after she was found to have red-hair like the Flintstones character. The findings had suggested that at least some Neanderthals would have had red hair, pale skin, and possibly freckles.

Looks like the lady that hangs out at my old laundromat.

Mmm, must be delicious with a mushroom sauce and a fernleaf salad.
