The oldest ancient Dutchie, Neanderthal Krijn, has been given a facial reconstruction. Unlike other reconstructions, Krijn has an approachable, smiling face. An amateur palaeontologist discovered a fragment of fossil on the coast of Zeeland, which was sucked up from the North Sea. It is estimated that he lived 50,, years ago in Zeeland but maybe he was Belgian? Experts believe that he died around his 20th birthday. He also has a distinctive bump on his head, where palaeontologists believe he had a tumour — based on the state of his skull. This is not a species that was as far away from us as they thought until recently. Krijn will be showing off his new smile at the Doggerland Exhibition — about prehistoric era life — in Leiden starting from September 7, Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Believed to have lived in Doggerland, which was once dry land but now forms the seabed in the North Sea between the United Kingdom and continental Europe, he died between 50, and 70, years ago, according to the researchers. Interestingly, the man also suffered from a small intradiploic epidermoid cyst above one eyebrow. Located in the skin layers, tumors like these are normally slow-growing and benign. The artists decided to recreate the man, tumor and all, to show that ancient mankind suffered from many of the same maladies that we do today. The discovery was the first time this kind of tumor had been documented in Neanderthal remains.

Standing proud in the Museum's Human Evolution gallery are two of the most scientifically accurate reconstructions that exist of a Neanderthal and early modern human. As visitors wander among the fossils, tools and other artefacts in the gallery, two standout characters put a human face to the last phase of our epic evolutionary journey. Staring into the twinkling eyes in the weathered features of the Neanderthal man, it's possible to feel a moment of connection, of recognising another fellow human albeit of a different species. He is based on 40,year-old Homo neanderthalensis remains found at Spy in Belgium. The other gentleman in the gallery is a model of an early modern human living around 30, years ago, referred to by some scientists as a Cro-Magnon, who was part of the Gravettian prehistoric culture of Europe.
The skull fragment of the first known Dutch Neanderthal, Krijn, that was discovered 20 years ago will soon be presented in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden with a realistic facial reconstruction. The Neanderthal was estimated to have lived between 50 to 70 thousand years ago. His skull was discovered 20 years ago in Zeeland. The fossil was collected from the bottom of the North Sea by a suction dredger. The skull was put on display in at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, the national archaeological museum in Leiden. During their mission, they researched characteristics of the North Sea fossil and found digital matches comparable with the Neanderthal skull. They also utilized the most recent knowledge about Neanderthals and their appearance, such as eye, hair and skin color. One special discovery about Krijn is that he has a small bump above his right eye.
