The narrative surrounding Neanderthals is evolving, shifting away from the notion of a primitive subspecies towards a recognition of their humanity and resilience. The more we uncover about their abilities, cultures, and interactions, the clearer it becomes that our predecessors played a pivotal role in shaping the foundations of modern human survival.
As research persists, what remains is an ongoing inquiry into not only the intriguing life of Neanderthals but also what their story can teach about adaptability, coexistence, and the consequences of climate change on the survival of species.
