A Night Out with the Neandertals – Lecture by Dr. Fred H. Smith
Neandertals were long considered the symbol of the “primitive human,” but modern science reveals a far more complex and fascinating picture than previously believed.
The lecture will be given by Fred H. Smith, American paleoanthropologist and one of the world’s leading experts on Neandertals and human evolution. His research has helped transform the perception of Neandertals — from “primitive ancestors” to intelligent and highly adaptable humans who lived in Ice Age Europe.
👉 Important: this lecture is not focused on Croatian Neandertal sites, but instead offers a broader European and global perspective on Neandertals and their evolution.
During the lecture, discover:
🔍 why there is no evidence of Neandertal intellectual inferiority
❄️ how their anatomy was adapted to Ice Age environments
🧠 what their behavior reveals about their cognitive abilities
❓ why, despite their successful adaptations, they eventually disappeared
Join us and discover a new perspective on our closest evolutionary relatives!
