The History of Neanderthals: For Kids!

For over 150,000 years, they hunted mammoths on the frozen steppes of Ice Age Europe, cared for their sick and elderly, buried their dead, and may have even painted on cave walls. Then, around 40,000 years ago, they vanished.The History of Neanderthals: For Kids! takes young readers deep into the real science behind one of our closest ancient relatives - from the first bones ever found in a German quarry to the groundbreaking DNA research proving that Neanderthals live on, in a small way, in almost all of us today. Along the way, readers will discover how Neanderthals survived brutal winters, built tools sharp enough to bring down a woolly rhino, and challenged everything scientists thought they knew about intelligence and humanity.Clear, accurate, and packed with the latest discoveries, this book leaves behind the old "caveman" myths and tells the real story - mysteries, unanswered questions, and all.
