«The Neanderthal Legacy» is the archaeological study by Paul Mellars, published by Princeton University Press in hardcover (471 pages, in English).
European Neanderthals were eventually replaced by Homo sapiens. Mellars reviews lithic technology, subsistence, settlement, social organization and Neanderthal cognition, and considers it exaggerated to define them as 'modern' or 'ape-like'. The key to their disappearance would lie in demography and adaptation to the last glaciation.
The book's subtitle is «An Archaeological Perspective from Western Europe». The work includes bibliographic references and indexes.
It is aimed at students and specialists in prehistoric archaeology and human evolution, and at readers interested in the debate about Neanderthals.
