Neanderthals Might Have Used Same Nubian Tools As Homo Sapiens, Says Study
The new study suggests that Neanderthals not only used the tools of modern-day humans but might have interacted with them physically and socially.
A new study suggests that Neanderthals used Nubian tools, previously thought to be exclusive to homo sapiens, disproving theories that the two groups never mingled with each other. The statement comes after scientists examined the tooth found near the remains of a nine-year-old Neanderthal child in Levant, modern-day Palestine. In the study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History suggest that Neanderthals not only used the tools of modern-day humans but might have interacted with them physically and socially.
