Neanderthals buried their dead, at least occasionally, which may explain the abundance of fossil remains. [50] The behaviour is not indicative of a religious belief of life after death because it could also have had non-symbolic motivations. [186] Estimates of known Neanderthal burials range from 36 to 60.
Classified as a history painting, [4] The Storm on the Sea of Galilee is an oil-on-canvas painting and is about 160 x 128 cm in size. It was Rembrandt's earliest painting, completed when he was 29 years old, and it is the largest known historical work that he completed.
The date of divergence of Neanderthals from their ancestor H. heidelbergensis is also unclear. The oldest potential Neanderthal bones date to 430,000 years ago, but the classification remains uncertain. [14] Neanderthals are known from numerous fossils, especially from after 130,000 years ago. [15] The reasons for Neanderthal extinction are ...
Remains of 10 Neanderthals - seven adults and three infants - were dug up there six decades ago, offering insight into the physical characteristics, behavior and diet of this species.

A Neanderthal was buried 75,000 years ago, and experts painstakingly pieced together what she looked like. The striking recreation is featured in a new Netflix documentary, “Secrets of the ...
The tracks of the individual who superimposed their left onto their right may have scrunched up their toes and wiggled them in the mud, or dug their finger into the toe prints. The footprints average 192.3 mm (7.57 in) long, which roughly equates to a 7 or 8 year old child by modern human growth rates.
Evidence points to the Neanderthals as the first human species known to practice burial behavior and to intentionally bury their dead; they did so using shallow graves furnished with stone tools and animal bones. [2] [3] Exemplary sites include Shanidar in Iraq, Kebara Cave in Israel and Krapina in Croatia.
