Are we the dead the only ones we bury?
- One of the characteristics that distinguish our species (Homo sapiens sapiens) from others is the inhumation of the dead. At least so far.
A team of researchers from the Museum of Natural History of France, CNSR and the UPV/EHU investigates the remains of a child found at the La Ferrassie (Dordogne) site in 1970. Bones, about 41,000 years old, belong to the Homo Neanderthalensis species, and the child was intentionally buried at the time of his death.
This isolated case is not enough to confirm the hypothesis, but it can be deduced that Neanderthal men buried their own deaths if more tests are found.
First of all, we wish to extend our condolences to the family and friends of the woman killed in early August.
