Mar 25, 2026 #archaeology #history
Few fossils in the history of human evolution carry the weight, drama, and scientific influence of La Ferrassie Man. Discovered in the limestone hills of southwestern France more than a century ago, this Neanderthal skeleton has become one of the most iconic and revealing human fossils ever found. It has been studied, reinterpreted, criticized, defended, and rediscovered again and again as scientific techniques advanced. And today, more than one hundred years after its excavation, new research continues to reinforce its importance.
