Homo (sapiens) Neanderthalensis, Part 1
Thursday, August 6, 2009 | Categories: Episodes |
More than 150 years after the first Neanderthal was
discovered, we still can't agree on whether they were a separate
species. Scientists excavate caves, chip flint to make stone tools, and
use the very latest DNA sequencing techniques to try to understand them.
IDEAS producer Dave Redel digs into the mysteries of
the Neanderthals and discovers that knowing them is really about knowing
ourselves.
