Neanderthals: More Advanced Than We Thought
Recent discoveries challenge our understanding of Neanderthals. Evidence suggests they buried their dead, potentially hinting at early religious beliefs. The oldest cave paintings, created around 60,000 years ago using ochre, also point to Neanderthals as possible artistic pioneers.

Archaeological finds from the last few years showcase their impressive technological advancements 40,000 years ago:

Tools:

Bone and antler spears: Used for hunting and processing wood and other materials.
Hand axes and knives: Made of stone for chopping wood, cutting meat, and other tasks.
Needles and awls: Used for sewing clothes and crafting objects from textiles and leather.
Technology:

Fire: Controlled fire for cooking, heating, and lighting their caves.
Stone knapping: Skilled in crafting stone tools and weapons.
