Скачать или смотреть Ancient Footprints Reveal Neanderthal Sophistication and Intelligence

In what has been described as a "Neanderthal Pompeii”, Around 350,000 years ago an extraordinary event occurred in southern Italy: early Neanderthals climbed the slopes of the active Roccamonfina volcano shortly after its eruption. Archaeologists discovered fossilized footprints preserved in layers of ash, tracing these early humans' movements across the hazardous landscape. These footprints, known as the "Ciampate del Diavolo"—"The Devil's Trail"—provide unique insight into the Neanderthals' boldness, intelligence, and survival strategies. This is fascinating because of the many unanswered questions regarding the behavior of our ancient brothers and sisters.
