Thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that Neanderthals are something altogether different -- and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history -- and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.
