Abstract: How human were the Neanderthals? Were they shaggy, subhuman brutes, or creatures barely distinguishable from modern humans? A new study favours the second interpretation. By analysing the bone tools and ornaments at a site in France dating back 45,000 years, they have found evidence that these artefacts were not copied from those made by more modern humans, but developed independently by Neanderthal groups.
