Youtube Description
Although they were physically superior to us, Neanderthals did not prevail. What made them different and why did they become extinct? How close orhostile were they to modern man?
Modern methods are drawing an increasingly accurate picture of our closest relative. The result sounds like true crime story from the Stone Age: it's about sex, weapons and cannibalism. And the question of how much Neanderthal still remains in each and every one of us.

Who were Neanderthal?Neanderthals are an extinct group of archaic humans who inhabited Europe and Western and Central Asia. Neanderthal extinction occurred roughly 40,000 years ago with the immigration of modern humans (Cro-Magnons). Neanderthals were characterised as a unique species of underdeveloped human, in particular by Marcellin Boule. By the mid-twentieth century, it was believed that human evolution progressed from an ape-like ancestor through a "Neanderthal phase" to modern humans. This gave way to the "Out of Africa" theory in the 1970s. With the sequencing of Neanderthal genetics first in 2010, it was discovered that Neanderthals interbred with modern humans.
