Sidron Cave: Bones, Genes, and the Neanderthal Family
About this episode
A deep dive into Sidron Cave in Spain, where the Tunnel of Bones held at least 13 Neanderthals. We explore their lives and deaths, from the growth of El Sidron J1 to DNA from bones and dirt, the FOXP2 clues about language, and what their vegetarian meals and possible cannibalism tell us about Neanderthal society and our shared past.
