Opis

To most 19th-century scholars, the Neandertals' fierce, ridged brows were evidence of a moral darkness that set them apart from humans. Yet by the 1970s, the Neandertals were being praised for their apparent compassion. This work reveals how different scientists came to such wildly divergent conclusions. Photos and illustrations.
