HISTORICAL CONTEXT:

Dating to around 50,000 years ago, Homo neanderthalensis lived across Europe and western Asia between 200,000 and 30,000 years ago. Adapted to cold climates, Neanderthals developed advanced tools and cultural practices.

The La Ferrassie 1 skull, discovered in France in 1909, is one of the most complete and iconic Neanderthal fossils. With its pronounced brow ridges, projecting face, wide nasal opening, and a cranial capacity exceeding 1,600 cc, it is considered the “classic” Neanderthal specimen and a reference point for the species.
