About the event:
The term “Neanderthal” evokes caricatures of hunched and unsophisticated cave-dwellers –whose ultimate extinction serves as evidence of their inherent inferiority to modern humans.
Join Bruce Hardy, Professor of Anthropology at Kenyon College, as he presents research and evidence that challenges those assumptions.
Everything you thought you knew about Paleolithic Europe might very well be wrong.
