Neanderthals

By Janet Young

Book Overview

In this encounter with the Neanderthals, you will rediscover a species that is closer to us than previously thought. Long considered primitive, the Neanderthals are now considered to be full-fledged humans.

Drawing upon the most recent scientific discoveries, this souvenir catalogue takes a new look at this species of the genus Homo. It features exceptional fossils rarely shown to the public from Europe's most prominent research institutions, including the Mus?e de l?Homme in Paris.

The Neanderthals were great hunters, worked stone, mastered the use of fire and buried their dead. They lived throughout Eurasia for 350,000 years before mysteriously disappearing 30,000 years ago.
