The 8,000-Year-Old Cemetery Found Beneath A Florida Pond — And The Human Brain Tissue Still Preserved Inside The Skulls
What Survived Inside The Skulls
The headline of this story, and the most scientifically startling finding of the entire Windover excavation, is this: in some of the skulls, preserved intracranial soft tissue was found.
This is a remarkable statement.
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body and, in terms of preservation, one of the least durable.
The brain tissue of the living is approximately 80 percent water.
After death, without intervention, it liquefies and disperses within days or weeks.
