In recent years the reputation of the species Homo neanderthalensis has seen quite the rise. In this first video, of a multipart Neanderthal series, I explore the origins and migrations of Neanderthals from a birds eye view. In future videos I'll dig deeper and explore Neanderthal genetics, life history, hunting and gathering, diet, ecological niches, and more.
