Neandertals: A Prehistoric Puzzle

by Yvette La Pierre and Yvette LaPierre

When the first Neandertal skeleton was discovered nearly 150 years ago, scientists presented the race as barely developed brutes. But recent findings indicate that Neandertals made complex tools, organized group hunts, cared for their sick and injured, and buried their dead. How advanced were they? How and why did they disappear? Did they live side-by-side with modern humans?
