«El collar del neandertal» is the popular science essay by Juan Luis Arsuaga, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Arsuaga reconstructs the millennia-long struggle between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons. He explains that Neanderthals shared beliefs, language and funerary rituals, although they did not develop such an extreme production of symbols; that difference, combined with technical and social resources, may have tipped the balance in favor of Homo sapiens.
First title in the Tanto por Saber collection. The subtitle of the work is «En busca de los primeros pensadores».
For readers interested in human evolution, prehistory and popular science.
Juan Luis Arsuaga Ferreras is a Spanish paleoanthropologist and author known for his work in the Atapuerca Archaeological Site.
