How well do you really know Neanderthals? Neanderthals disappeared 35,000 years ago. After 350,000 years on Earth, these remarkable humans vanished, leaving behind tools, graves, ornaments—and questions that continue to fascinate scientists today. Long portrayed as primitive brutes, they are now recognized for what they truly were: fully human. This is the story told by the traveling exhibition Néandertal, presented across 14 panels and designed to tour the municipalities of Nantes Métropole. How well do you really know Neanderthals?
