Neanderthals could innovate on their own
New research from the University of Colorado Denver now shows Neanderthals could adapt, innovate and evolve technology on their own in contrast to the till now held belief that they developed 'modern' tools and ornaments solely through contact with Homo sapiens.
Neanderthals were a separate species from Homo sapiens, as anatomically modern humans are known, rather than offshoots of the same species, the new organigram published by the journal Nature declares.
