This exhibition focuses on the Neanderthals, their daily life and their fateful meeting with Homo sapiens. The exhibition presents a more nuanced picture of the Neanderthals, rather than the usual image of primitive cave dwellers.Once again, Moesgaard Museum addresses one of the great stories in world history, this time taking a huge step back in time and looking deep into human evolutionary history. This special exhibition tells the story of the Neanderthals, about their lives and their meeting with Homo sapiens, modern humans, and what this has meant for human cultural and genetic development. The Neanderthals are our closest extinct relatives, and they lived in Eurasia from 300,000 to 40,000 years ago.
