Grotte de Châtelperron

The Grotte de Châtelperron is a cave in France famous for its archaeological significance. It shows evidence of early humans, specifically Neanderthals, creating complex tools and wearing ornaments like beads around 40,000 years ago. These findings suggest Neanderthals had cultural and symbolic behaviors often thought to be unique to modern humans. The site provides important insights into how Neanderthals lived, interacted, and possibly influenced or learned from early Homo sapiens, highlighting a complex picture of human evolution and cultural development during that period.
