New evidence has been found that possibly contradicts the wide view that the Neanderthals were less intelligent than our forebears the Homo Sapiens: they may have been artists! I found an article in The Guardian about a discovery that could prove that Neanderthals were actually the first human species to paint in caves. A painting recently found on a wall in Spain is now Europe’s oldest piece of art by about 4000 years, and probably came from the Neanderthals. Amazing!
