Showing results for "The Neanderthals" in History

In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthals has been transformed, thanks to new discoveries and paradigm-shattering scientific innovations. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behavior was surprisingly modern: they buried the dead, cared for the sick, hunted large animals in their prime, harvested seafood, and communicated with spoken language. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies are compelling us to reassess the Neanderthals' place in our own past.

A show about how our Neanderthal Ancestors influence our thought processes and characteristics. Take a journey with us as we probe into why what our Ancestors did millions of years ago, still has an influence on our modern mind.

La aparición de los primeros fósiles humanos en el valle de Neander, en 1856, supuso una auténtica revolución, tanto científica como en el resto de disciplinas.
