Describes how Neanderthals may have lived. Discusses human and hominid evolution and speculates on Neanderthal technology, culture, and religion based on archaeological, fossil, ecological, and geologic evidence.
Mildly interesting book that speculates on what neanderthals must have been like, whether they had a language, and when humans became human
goede opbouw van het verhaal; helder verteld; is waarschijnlijk collegestof dat tot boek is verwerkt.
De vertaling is prima. Een enkele ding is achterhaald (de Floresmens was toen nog niet bekend). Op knappe wijze wordt veel van het leven van de Neanderthaler gereconstrueerd.
