Sommigen beweren dat hij stierf van de kou, anderen dat hij omkwam van de honger en nog anderen zeggen dat de homo sapiens hem uitroeide. Maar hoe kwam de neanderthaler nu écht aan zijn einde? In dit boek gaan paleoantropologe Silvana Condemi en wetenschapsjournalist François Savatier op zoek naar het antwoord dat al decennialang wetenschappers en historici in de ban houdt. Hun boek, ondertussen in vijfentwintig talen vertaald, leest als een whodunit. Hoofdstuk na hoofdstuk volgen ze diverse sporen, sluiten pistes uit en boren er andere aan om zo een eeuwenoude puzzel te reconstrueren. Te midden dat minutieuze speurwerk strooien ze kwistig verhalen rond over de solidariteit die ervoor zorgde dat de neanderthaler het twintigduizend generaties uithield, over overleven in ijstijden en het eten van mensenvlees, maar ook … over de vermenging van de neanderthaler met de homo sapiens en de daaruit volgende genetische band tussen ‘ons’ en ‘hem’. Populaire wetenschap van de bovenste plank. Rijkelijk geïllustreerd.

Did Neanderthals have language, and if so, what was it like? Scientists agree overall that the behaviour and cognition of Neanderthals resemble that of early modern humans in important ways. However, the existence and nature of Neanderthal language remains a controversial topic. The first in-depth treatment of this intriguing subject, this book comes to the unique conclusion that, collective hunting is a better window on Neanderthal language than other behaviours. It argues that Neanderthal hunters employed linguistic signs akin to those of modern language, but lacked complex grammar. Rudolf Botha unpacks and appraises important inferences drawn by researchers working in relevant branches of archaeology and other prehistorical fields, and uses a large range of multidisciplinary literature to bolster his arguments. An important contribution to this lively field, this book will become a landmark book for students and scholars alike, in essence, illuminating Neanderthals' linguistic powers.
