Remains of 15 hominids were recovered within a Mousterian archaeological context in the cave of Qafzeh, Israel. Dated to ca. 95 kyr BP, this skeletal material has been crucial for understanding biological, chronological, and cultural aspects of anatomically modern ancient Homo sapiens. The high proportion of children (N = 8) in Qafzeh Cave is unique among Middle Palaeolithic sites and encourages the search for skeletal evidence of disease and trauma. We report on the case of one child, Qafzeh 12, ca. 3 years old (according to modern human reference standards), who manifests some outstanding skeletal abnormalities that indicate hydrocephalus.
在以色列卡夫泽洞穴的莫斯特文化考古遗址中发现了15具古人类遗骸。这些骨骼材料可追溯到约9.5万年前，对于理解解剖学意义上现代古代智人的生物学、年代学和文化方面至关重要。卡夫泽洞穴中儿童（N = 8）的比例很高，这在旧石器时代中期遗址中是独一无二的，这促使人们寻找疾病和创伤的骨骼证据。我们报告了一个约3岁（按照现代人类参考标准）儿童卡夫泽12号的病例，其表现出一些表明脑积水的明显骨骼异常。
