Neanderthals were not the crude ancestors of humanity. Some think they were a
different species from modern humans, but others think we carry their genes.
Evidence about their lives is fragmentary, so to make a TV series about them,
鈥渓eaps of imagination鈥� have to be taken. Douglas Palmer鈥檚 book to accompany the
series Neanderthal is lavish. Frequent use of 鈥減ossibly鈥�, 鈥減erhaps鈥� and
so on shows the ice is thin for skating. Published by Channel 4, 拢20, ISBN
