Synopsis of El collar del neandertal

The Neanderthal's Necklace is a book by Juan Luis Arsuaga that explores the life and culture of Neanderthals, members of a humanity that evolved in Europe for hundreds of thousands of years. Arsuaga uses archaeological and paleontological findings to reconstruct how these ancient hominids lived, thought, and felt, offering a reflection on our own species through the mirror of our Neanderthal ancestors. The book addresses topics such as the Neanderthals' ability to make tools, their language, their funerary rituals, and their spiritual world.
