These cave drawings might be proof that Neanderthals were just as sophisticated as humans
A newly discovered series of cave drawings is changing the way scientists think about Neanderthals, and could help to change some long-held beliefs about how one long-dead branch of our own family tree lived. The drawings, which are thought to be as old as 120,000 years, were found in Spain, but the discovery has worldwide implications. The research was published in Science Advances.
When archaeologists discover ancient cave drawings it's commonly assumed they were originally created by primitive humans. Homo sapiens were ultimately the winners of the evolutionary race, and Neanderthals are often thought of as inferior. It's commonly believed that Neanderthals lacked many of the traits that we believe make us human, such as language and art. The cave walls in southeast Spain tell a far different tale.
