The Real Neanderthal Women | What Science Just Discovered

Even if you are not interested in human paleontology the study of Stone Age females is both a fascinating and enlightening subject.

According to paleo-anthropologists, 'Homo neanderthalensis' (also known as 'Homo sapiens neanderthalensis') was a late archaic form of Homo sapiens that diverged from modern human lineages no earlier than 500,000 years ago and largely disappeared by 40,000 years ago.


Ultimately, the physical adaptability of modern humans may have contributed to their survival, while Neanderthals, despite their strength, eventually disappeared.
