The discovery of the ancient remains of nine Neanderthals in the Guattari Cave in Italy has astounded archaeologists.
"It is an extraordinary discovery," Dario Franceschini, Italy's cultural minister, said in a statement. "The whole world will be talking about it." One of the Neanderthals dates back 90,000 to 100,000 years, according to a statement by the Italian Cultural Ministry, while the other eight date back 50,000 to 60,000 years. All were male, and one is suspected to have been younger than the others.More Related News
