Our Neanderthal Complex [anthropology]

What if our ancient relatives did “human” better?

Thanks to John Hawks I found this very interesting article about science's changing perspective on Neanderthal, and how the habit of seeing them as stupid and inferior could actually has been a valid contribution to the work of recent anthropologists. Poor always misunderstood neanderthals, anyway! :)

Poveri uomini di Neanderthal sempre fraintesi, comunque! :)
