The Neandertal Enigma: Solving the Mystery of Modern Human OriginsViking, 1996 - Всего страниц: 369 Among all the forms of early humans, the Neandertals hold a special place in our imaginations.

And then, somehow, they lost. The Neandertals disappeared some 35,000 years ago, just as a new kind of human made its gaudy entrance on the continent: Homo sapiens sapiens, the "double wise" species that left its handprints on the walls of caves and the mark of its mind everywhere on the globe.
