Long in the tooth
A 40,000-year-old tooth has provided scientists with the first direct evidence that Neanderthals moved from place to place during their lifetimes.
The team used laser technology to collect microscopic particles of enamel from the tooth.
By analysing the enamel, the scientists were able to uncover geological information showing where the Neanderthal was living when the tooth was formed.
