'If you thought you knew about the Neanderthals, think again. Prepare to have your prejudices shattered and your understanding of humanity challenged' - Clive Gamble, Professor of Archaeology, University of Southampton

'Excellent and absorbing' - Current World Archaeology

'A nuanced and sympathetic perspective on these fascinating people’ ' - Brian Fagan, Professor Emeritus of Archaeology, University of California, Santa Barbara

' [Written] with confidence and verve … strikes an excellent balance between broad popular appeal and satisfyingly rich content' - Society for American Archaeology
