Neanderthals and Us

How close are we to Neanderthal people? The latest archaeological techniques can tell us.

Find out about the people who looked and behaved just like us but were not us! We start with a guided walk at 12 midday to a nearby site with the earliest hearth evidence in Britain. This is followed be a one hour break.

We continue with a lavishly illustrated talk, including several short videos, lasting just over an hour. It introduces the very latest discoveries on the people who lived here around 400,000 years ago and the last Neanderthals from Gibraltar. Includes a chance to handle original objects from this period and replica skulls.

This event finishes about 3.15pm.
