Neanderthals Rediscovered: How Modern Science Is Rewriting Their Story
Neanderthals Rediscovered: How Modern Science Is Rewriting Their Story | Dimitra Papagianni, Michael A Morse
For hundreds of thousands of years, Neanderthals evolved in Europe very much in parallel to the Homo sapiens line evolving in Africa, and, when both species made their first forays into Asia, the Neanderthals may even have had the upper hand. Here, Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A. Morse look at the Neanderthals through the full dramatic arc of their existence--from their evolution in Europe to their expansion to Siberia, their subsequent extinction, and ultimately their revival in popular novels, cartoons, cult movies, and TV commercials.

For something which starts by promising to be all about Neanderthals, it spent a lot of time comparing them to modern humans. Good summary book, though.

In other news, I got this book this morning for my birthday and finished it this evening. Oops.

LauraBrook No oops, that's awesome! 8y
