Archaeology: Those elusive Neanderthals
Chris Stringer1 & William Davies2
Abstract
The 'how, where and when' of possible Neanderthal coexistence with Cro-Magnons, and their extinction, continue to exercise a varied community of researchers. The latest interpretations of the fossil and archaeological records were aired at two meetings.
Will we ever really know what happened to the Neanderthals — the distinctive humans who occupied Europe immediately before the modern-looking Cro-Magnons appeared1? At two meetings* held in late summer in Gibraltar and Liège, Belgium, there was plenty of new evidence from the fossil and archaeological records to discuss.
