The Neanderthals Rediscovered by Dimitra Papagianni

The Neanderthals Rediscovered by Dimitra Papagianni

For too long the Neanderthals have been seen as dim-witted evolutionary dead-enders who looked and behaved completely differently from us, but in recent years their story has been transformed thanks to new discoveries and advances in scientific techniques. This book looks at the whole story of the Neanderthals.
