A human skull dated to about 2,684 years ago with an exceptionally preserved human brain still inside of it was recently discovered in a waterlogged U.K. pit, according to a new Journal of Archaeological Science study.

The brain is the oldest known intact human brain from Europe and Asia, according to the authors, who also believe it's one of the best-preserved ancient brains in the world.

Wow, they'll be able to learn a lot from studyin' it!



I always wonder the stories behind things like this...



Who was this person, how did they die, what were they doing for a job etc. No one knows...
