Professor Dave writes “When people think of “cavemen”, they are typically thinking of Neanderthals, not just because they were so similar to us, but also because they were the first extinct hominins ever discovered in the 19th century.
We have learned quite a lot about these hominins since their discovery, how they differ from us, and what their demise must have been. We have also learned about a similar group called Denisovans. What is the relationship between these hominins and ourselves?”
