The Neanderthals - not so different from us after all? - Prof Graeme Barker & Dr Emma Pomeroy

Ever since their discovery over 150 years ago, the Neanderthals have had a bad press! However, mounting evidence including from current excavations in Shanidar Cave (Iraqi Kurdistan) shows them in a very different light. What do these latest findings tell us about the Neanderthals, our closest evolutionary cousins? Why did they go extinct rather than us? Dr Emma Pomeroy and Prof Graeme Barker, both of the Department of Archaeology, will attempt to answer these questions and more in their presentation ‘The Neanderthals: not so different after all?’. **Please be aware that the presentation includes images of Neanderthal and human skeletal remains.** Originally recorded on 22 September, 2020 as part of the 30th annual Alumni Festival at the University of Cambridge.
