Neanderthal Apocalypse

Saison 1

40, 000 years ago the steppes of Eurasia were home to our closest human relative, the Neanderthals. Recent discoveries have proven that they were not the dim-witted cave dwellers we long thought they were. In fact, they were cultured, technologically savvy and more like us than we ever imagined! We accompany scientists on an exciting search to find out why they disappeared.
