A 14- to 16-year-old boy, nicknamed "the Prince," died in a severe bear attack around 27,000 years ago in Italy’s Arene Candide Cave.
His remains, found in 1940, show skull fractures, missing jaw and clavicle, and a punctured fibula, likely from a brown or cave bear.
He survived two to three days post-attack, indicating care from his community.
Buried with deer teeth, shells, ivory pendants, antlers, a flint blade, and red ochre, he was likely a young hunter of high status.
The burial is the oldest in the region, offering rare insight into Upper Paleolithic life and beliefs.
