Back again to my favourite species... This time I made some tiny research on the habitat of Neanderthals. I'm stuck in bed with flu so it's a perfect time for reading and doing some studying. So briefly, for all those interested, Neanderthals were hunter-gatherers who lived in extremely cold weather of Ice Age glaciers. Tools used by them belong to technology called Mousterian tradition ("sets of tools with great variety and finely trimmed cutting edges. Flint stone properly chipped, forms a cutting edge sharper than a steel scalpel." http://www.ecotao.com/holism/hu_neand.htm). As mentioned before in some of my blurbs Neanderthals had short arms and legs with stocky bodies as a result of adaptation to cold environment. There are some speculations that Neanderthals were burying the dead, which could be a sign of intelligence and culture. They occupied regions of Europe and Asia.
isn't this sooooo interesting?
