Neanderthal child, artwork
Neanderthal child, artwork. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) inhabited Europe and western Asia between 230, 000 and 29, 000 years ago. They did not use complex tools but had mastery of fire and built shelters. It is thought that they had language and a complex social structure, living in small family groups and hunting for food. It is not known why Neanderthals became extinct; one theory is that they were outcompeted by modern humans (Homo sapiens)

This print showcases an artwork of a Neanderthal child, offering us a glimpse into the lives of these ancient beings. The Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis, once roamed Europe and western Asia between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. Despite their lack of complex tools, they possessed remarkable abilities such as fire mastery and shelter construction. Believed to have had language skills and intricate social structures, Neanderthals lived in tight-knit family groups while hunting for sustenance. However, the mystery surrounding their extinction remains unsolved. One prevailing theory suggests that they were outcompeted by our modern human ancestors, Homo sapiens. In this illustration against a white background, we see a young male Neanderthal with ginger hair - his distinct features capturing our attention. This image not only delves into the biological aspects but also sheds light on anthropology and paleontology. As we explore this snapshot from the past through palaeoanthropology lenses, it reminds us of our shared history with these fascinating hominins. With its historical significance and scientific value in understanding human evolution during the Paleolithic era or Stone Age period (also known as Pleistocene), this artwork offers an intriguing window into prehistoric times.
