Neanderthal

Bog

DKK 100,00

Just 30.000  years ago there were people living  in Europe who looked like us, who behaved like us and walked like us. And yet they were not us, but Neanderthals. When moderne  humans first arrived in Europe, what did they think ? For years, many writers have tried  to imagine what such an alien encounter might be like. We know the final outcome; Extinction of the Neanderthals. But the story of these remarkable people is still largely shrouded in the mist.
