Neandertals

By Pat Shipman

0 - Default Title
Description
In 1856 - just as Darwin was completing ORIGIN OF SPECIES - the fossilized remains of a stocky powerful human-like creature were discovered in a cave in the Neander Valley in Germany. Opinions about Neandertal Man have veered wildly ever since: he was not human at all but closer to ape he was human but not ancient; he was a cannibal a shuffling depraved halfwit; an evolutionary dead-end wiped out by more efficient and intelligent Cro-Magnons. The controversy continues to this day. Erik Trinkaus - the world's leading authority on Neandertals - and anthropologist Pat Shipman vividly tell the whole story from the discovery of the bones to the latest research. Theirs is a brilliant first-hand account of the search for man's beginnings and out of a particular man - dead for 40 000 years - who began a revolution that changed the world.
