Abstract

Reports that the idea that Neanderthals were primitives who were suddenly swept aside by modern `Homo sapiens' possessing a rapidly evolving technology is confounded by discoveries in Israel. Findings that modern `Homo sapiens' actually preceded Neanderthals on Mount Carmel and followed a similar pattern of life for 60,000 years; Specifics on the excavations; Tools that were found; Questions that remain.
