PARIS, France (WORLD NEWS BUREAU) - A team of French researchers have determined that Cro-Magnon man's face (below) featured lumps - benign tumors caused by a genetic disease.
To mark the discovery of a Homo sapiens skeleton found 150 years ago, a team of researchers including anthropologist Philippe Charlier reexamined the remains. They concluded the individual had suffered from a type of neurofibromatosis - a genetic disease which can cause benign tumors to develop in the nervous system, as well as pigmentation of the skin.
The team's findings will be published Friday in the medical journal The Lancet.
