The Neanderthals were a people native to Europe during the Pleistocene period, who became extinct between forty and thirty thousand years ago.

The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals died out and we survived
ISBN: 9780199239191 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Hailed by Dan Agin in The Huffington Post as "fascinating...electrifying...an apocalyptic vision that puts a chill down one's back," this provocative book offers a new perspective on the extinction of the Neanderthals. Today, we think of Neanderthals as crude and clumsy, easily driven to extinction by the lithe, smart humans who came out of Africa some 100,000 years ago. But Clive Finlayson reminds us that the Neanderthals were another kind of human, and their culture was not so very different from that of our own ancestors. In this book, he presents a wider view of the events that led to the...
