Since their discovery 150 years ago, Neanderthals have gone from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins. This book sheds new light on where they lived, what they ate, and the increasingly complex Neanderthal culture that researchers have discovered. In Kindred, Neanderthal expert Rebecca Wragg Sykes shoves aside the cliché of the shivering ragged figure in an icy wasteland, and reveals the Neanderthal you don't know, our ancestor who lived across vast and diverse tracts of Eurasia and survived through hundreds of thousands of years of massive climate change.
