A human skull, which is believed to have had a
successful brain operation some 5,000 years ago, was recently shown to the
public at the Shangdong Provincial Museum.
The human skull was discovered in 1995, among relics of the
Dawenkou culture, a society that lasted about 1,500 years, beginning around
6,100 years ago.
The skull was eventually excavated by archaeologists about
six years ago.
Experts found a hole, 3.1 by 2.5 centimeters wide, on the
right part of the top back of the skull, which is believed to be that of an
adult male.
The circular arc on the edge of the hole was grown
naturally, but only after some modifications and bone tissue repair was done.
Many experts believe this growth indicates that the skull’s
owner survived the operation for a long period of time afterwards, proving the
prehistoric operation’s success.
