The Neanderthals

by Friedmann Schrenk and Stephanie Miller

For many, the Neanderthals are an example of primitive humans, but new discoveries suggest that this image needs to be revised. They formed an organized society, hunted Mammoths, and could make fire. They were able to pass on knowledge; they cared for the old and the handicapped, burying their dead, and placing gifts on their graves. Yet, they became extinct, despite their cultural abilities. This book provides a fine introduction to the history and culture of the neanderthals and an overview of recent research and thinking on the subject. 113p b/w illus (Routledge 2008)
