Recent Studies
Recently researchers of University of Bari have carried out laser scans of the find, still preserved in Lamalunga cave, obtaining numerical maps that allow to carry out dimensional and morphological evaluations using mathematical models and procedures capable of obtaining the reproduction of physical copies of the find.
At the same time three-dimensional videos have been taken. Results have been showed at Bonn symposium "150 years of Neanderthal discoveries – Early Europeans Continuity and Discontinuity" where has sparked lot of interest with specific requests of further development on the topic from UNESCO, the Wenner Gren Foundation of New York, from the American Museum of Natural History of New York and from The Abdus Salam – International Centre for Theoretical Physics of Trieste.

Famous quotes containing the word studies:
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“What happiness did poor Mother’s studies bring her? It is the melancholy tendency of such studies to separate people from their friends and neighbors and fellow creatures in whom alone lies one’s happiness.”
—Mary Potter Playne (c. 1850–?)
