Details

On a sunny day 150 years ago, workers digging in a valley near Düsseldorf, Germany, found some strange bones in a cave. They weren't animal bones, but they also differed from those of human skeletons-they were the bones of Neandertals, early hominids. The discovery ushered in the new science of paleoanthropology and began a debate about how Neandertals lived and how much they resembled modern humans-a debate that continues to this day. Glossary. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Suggestions for further reading. Full-color photographs, chart, map, and drawings.
