Description

A circular hole in a 75,000-year-old scapula/shoulder blade suggests lethal conflict involving sharpened wooden spears among Neanderthals in the Middle East. The remains also show evidence of a brutal facial injury at least a year before death, meaning the Neanderthal was likely cared for prior to dying violently. Watch Dr Emma Pomeroy discuss the violence and compassion captured by the remains of a new Neanderthal discovery: Shanidar A. Find out more here -
