L’uomo Di Altamura

Uno scheletro umano integro del Paleolitico, appartenuto a un Homo neanderthalensis, vissuto molto più di 100.000 anni fa, fu rinvenuto nel 1993 nella grotta di Lamalunga nei pressi di Altamura. Si tratta di una scoperta eccezionale, non solo per l’ottimo stato di conservazione, ma perché è stato possibile eseguire accurate analisi scientifiche e paleogenetiche riuscendo a leggerne il DNA.

L’uomo di Altamura, morì durante una battuta di caccia, cadendo in uno dei tanti pozzi carsici presenti nella zona. Le ferite gli impedirono di uscire dalla grotta, che divenne la sua tomba. Il particolare ambiente sotterraneo ne ha permesso la conservazione, le sue ossa infatti vennero inglobate nelle concrezioni calcaree fino al momento della scoperta.

Dal 2017 è possibile, nel Museo Nazionale di Altamura, osservare la perfetta ricostruzione dell’uomo di Altamura, eseguita grazie alle moderne tecnologie digitali. L’incontro con questo nostro antenato a dimensione naturale è un’emozione alla quale è impossibile restare indifferenti.

The Man From Altamura

An intact human skeleton from the Paleolithic, which belonged to a Homo Neanderthalensis who lived more than 100,000 years ago, was found in 1993 in the cave of Lamalunga near Altamura. This is an exceptional discovery, not only because of its excellent state of preservation, but because it was possible to perform accurate scientific and paleogenetic analyses, thanks to its DNA.

The man from Altamura died during a hunt, falling into one of the many karst wells in the area. The wounds prevented him from leaving the cave, which became his tomb. The particular underground environment allowed its conservation, and its bones had been incorporated in the calcareous concretions until their discovery.

From 2017 onwards, in the National Museum of Altamura it is possible to observe the perfect reconstruction of the Man from Altamura, thanks to modern digital technologies. The encounter with this natural ancestor of ours is an emotion to which it is impossible to remain indifferent.
