A 59,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth discovered in a Siberian cave shows evidence of deliberate drilling to treat a deep cavity, suggesting that early forms of dentistry existed far earlier than previously believed. Researchers say the find pushes back the earliest known evidence of dental treatment by around 45,000 years.
Excavations at La Cotte de St Brelade on the island of Jersey have revealed that a site famous for its medieval associations actually sits atop one of the most significant Neanderthal sites in Europe.
