Neanderthal remains

Neanderthal remains refer to the bones and tools of an ancient human species called Neanderthals, who lived in Europe and parts of Asia around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago. They are our close relatives, sharing about 99.7% of our DNA. Scientists study their remains to understand how they looked, behaved, and adapted to their environment. Neanderthals used tools, controlled fire, and may have cared for the sick. Their discovery helps us learn about human evolution and how modern humans emerged. Despite extinct, their influence persists in our genes and understanding of human history.
