«Neandertal, nosso irmão: uma breve história do homem» is the historical popular-science essay by Silvana Condemi and François Savatier, published by Vestígio in paperback (240 pages, in Portuguese).
The book reconstructs the figure of the Neanderthal based on the latest advances in genetics and paleoanthropology. It explains how Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens coexisted in Europe for over 5,000 years and came to mix their genes, and reviews the hypotheses about their disappearance, moving away from the stereotype of the brutish hominid to present them as beings capable of language and of honoring their dead.
It is a work of non-fiction framed in the history of human evolution, originally written in French and translated into Brazilian Portuguese.
It will appeal to readers curious about human evolution and to those who prefer popularizing essays with a scientific basis.
