The Neanderthals: An Archaeological Journey Through Ice Age Survival, Social Intelligence, and Human Evolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183558388)

They were not the brutish cave dwellers history once imagined. They were hunters, innovators, survivors, and one of humanity's closest relatives.

For more than 300,000 years, the Neanderthals thrived across the frozen landscapes of Ice Age Europe and western Asia. They endured extreme climates, mastered sophisticated hunting techniques, cared for their communities, and adapted to a world few modern humans could survive in. Yet despite their remarkable success, they vanished from the Earth, leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries in human history.
