Intact human brains 12,000 years old or more have been found in unexpected places such as shipwrecks and waterlogged graves, but it is unclear what preserved them
The 1000-year-old brain of an individual excavated from a churchyard in Ypres, Belgium.
And saponification, where fatty substances turn into a form of soap called grave wax, preserved the brains of some people shot in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War and buried in a mass grave. “This unknown mechanism is completely different,” says Morton-Hayward. “The key feature of it is that we only have the brain and the bones left. There’s no skin, no muscle, no gut.”
