Description:
"THE NEANDERTHALS" Friedemann Schrenk and Stephanie Müller, in collaboration with Christine Hemm "The Neanderthals are among the most mysterious relatives of Homo sapiens. Were they dull club-swinging musclemen or beings with developed social behavior, the ability to speak, plan precisely, and even develop views on the afterlife? For many, Neanderthals represent primitive humans, but new discoveries suggest this image needs revision. One hundred thousand years ago in ice-age Europe emerged people who managed well with difficult climates—Neanderthals. They formed organized societies, hunted mammoths, made fire, passed knowledge, cared for the old and disabled, buried their dead, and placed gifts on graves. Yet they became extinct despite cultural abilities. This richly illustrated book written for general audiences provides a competent look at Neanderthal history, living conditions, and culture." PEOPLES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD A series standing as the first port of call for anyone wanting to know more about historically important peoples of the ancient world and early middle ages. Reliable, up-to-date with special attention paid to their enduring legacy and influence.
