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.

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:
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Even if one studies to an old age, one will never finish learning.”
—Chinese proverb.
