Description
The Neanderthals Rediscovered: A New Story of Human Evolution The Neanderthals' story has been transformed by new discoveries and paradigm-shifting scientific innovations. This book presents the first complete chronological narrative of the species from emergence to extinction, shedding light on their evolution in Europe and Asia, their DNA, and their way of life. By studying the full Neanderthal story, we can gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. The book reveals that Neanderthals were surprisingly modern, with behaviors such as burying their dead, caring for the sick, and using red pigment. Yet, despite their advances, they eventually died out, leaving Homo sapiens to thrive.
