Markings made by human hands on a French cave wall have been identified as the oldest known engravings made by Neanderthals. They're at least 57,000 years old.
Many of us have a bit of Neanderthal DNA in our genes A recent study found that people with Neanderthal DNA are more sensitive to certain types of pain. Curiously, the effects were most marked after scientists rubbed mustard oil onto the skin, something that has traditionally been known for its painkilling properties.
Neanderthal populations were adaptable, living in colder environments across modern-day England and Siberia, ranging down to the warmer regions of Spain and Italy. Smaller than the average human, they ranged in height from around 4’11” to 5’8″, but were broader and more stocky. Their strong facial features included a large nose and strong brow ridge.
