Neanderthal woman, artwork. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) inhabited Europe and western Asia between 230, 000 and 29, 000 years ago. They did not use complex tools but had mastery of fire and built shelters. It is thought that they had language and a complex social structure, living in small family groups and hunting for food.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of a Neanderthal woman, offering a glimpse into the lives of these ancient beings. The Neanderthals, known as Homo neanderthalensis, once inhabited Europe and western Asia between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. Despite not using complex tools like their modern human counterparts (Homo sapiens), they possessed remarkable skills such as fire mastery and shelter construction. Believed to have had language and a sophisticated social structure, Neanderthals lived in small family groups and relied on hunting for sustenance. However, the reason behind their extinction remains unknown. One prevailing theory suggests that they were outcompeted by Homo sapiens during this period. In this mesmerizing illustration against a black background, we see an artistic representation of a naked Neanderthal woman. Her presence evokes curiosity about our shared history with these fascinating hominins from the Stone Age. This artwork sheds light on various aspects of their biology, anthropology, paleontology - providing insights into our understanding of human evolution. Created by JOSE ANTONIO PEÑAS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this historical piece serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic delight for those interested in prehistoric times. It reminds us that beneath our differences lie connections to our ancestors who shaped the course of humanity's journey through time.
