Overview

Neanderthals weren't brutes. They were humans-just not like us.For generations, Neanderthals have been portrayed as primitive cavemen: dull-witted, violent, and doomed to disappear. Modern science tells a very different story. In Neanderthals: The Humans We Tried to Forget, Arlo N. Voss uncovers the truth about our closest evolutionary relatives-revealing a species capable of art, language, empathy, and complex social life. Neanderthals painted caves, buried their dead, cared for the injured, and adapted to extreme Ice Age environments for hundreds of thousands of years. Drawing on archaeology, genetics, and evolutionary science, this engaging nonfiction book challenges the myth of human superiority and explores what really happened when Neanderthals and modern humans met. Inside this book, you'll learn: - How Neanderthals survived some of the harshest climates in human history - Why they were skilled toolmakers and strategic hunters - Evidence of art, symbolism, and ritual once denied by science - How Neanderthals communicated and cared for one another - Why their disappearance was not a failure-but a transformation - How Neanderthal DNA still lives on in modern humans today This book is not just about the past-it's about identity, survival, and what it truly means to be human. Written for general readers, history lovers, and science enthusiasts alike, Neanderthals: The Humans We Tried to Forget offers a fresh, accessible perspective on one of humanity's most misunderstood relatives. If you're fascinated by human evolution, ancient history, or the hidden stories that shaped who we are, this book will change the way you see humanity forever.
