Neanderthals and early humans were neighbours —and they may have mourned their dead the same way
New findings from Tinshemet Cave indicate that early humans and Neanderthals lived as neighbours, sharing technology, lifestyles, and burial customs during the mid-Middle Palaeolithic period. Excavations uncovered evidence of formal burial practices and extensive use of ochre, suggesting a peaceful coexistence and meaningful interactions between the species. These discoveries highlight the role of human connections in driving cultural and technological innovations throughout history.
