NAKED NEANDERTHAL (HB)

For over a century Neanderthals have been portrayed as inferior to Homo Sapiens. Today, Neanderthals are seen as fully human, different from us only because of their distant cultural traditions. But does the truth lie somewhere else entirely? In this book, Ludovic Slimak argues that Neanderthals should be understood on their own terms. They had their own history, rituals, and customs. Neanderthals also had a remarkable intelligence that may have been very different from ours - although it can still teach us much about ourselves.
