Mystery of the Neandertals
National Geographic travels back 35,000 years in time - to when glaciers stretched across the Eurasian continent and arctic cold gripped the earth - to introduce viewers to the MYSTERY OF THE NEANDERTHALS. This early ancestor had the intellect to survive the brutal ice age as well as possibly the first to derive the human concepts of art and religion. But over a period of just a few thousand years, they mysteriously vanished. MYSTERY OF THE NEANDERTHALS follows scientists to sites of recent archaeological finds, taking audiences into the world of the Neanderthal in order to shed some light on the mysterious final chapter in human evolution.
