The book guides you through the basic lives of a Neanderthal, as the title suggests, from birth to death and everything in between we get a close glimpse at what it was like to live in a world no longer recognized. After all, no matter how much archaeology is involved, there is still going to be guess work, might as well make it interesting and logical.

Not only is all of the information top notch, and as up to date as you will find out there (besides any discoveries that come out after the publication of this article).Įach chapter starts with a look back into the past, with a glimpse through the eyes of our Neanderthal cousins, while some people complain about these anecdotes, I find that they add to the overall story and provide a more fulfilling and imaginary driving experience when imagining a world that no longer exists. But now that the book is out, lets talk about it! How is it? Should you get it, and whole role does it play in the future of anthropology?įirst off lets start off with the basics, if you are looking for a book on Neanderthals, especially one that has by far the most up to date information based on the most recent findings and technology, then this is the book for you.
