The Neanderthals

Before human beings like you and me existed a different type of human. The Neanderthalers. Were they clever or stupid? Did they eat each other?What do we know about them?

After the success of Wild animals in town in the Lesebra series comes a just as exciting factual book with the same author and illustrator. This time it deals with the Neanderthalers.

We get to know what they looked like, their culture and way of life – how they subsisted, what clothes they wore and what they sounded like. One thing that is attempted throughout – in both text and illustrations – is to show us how little they actually differed from us in many of these areas.

New research is communicated with a touch of humour for children who have just learnt to read, but the book will also find readers among older children who are interested in the subject.
