In this video, we'll explore the fascinating intelligence of Neanderthals and how they were much smarter than previously thou

Cova Eros offers a new look at the last Neanderthals of Europe. Learn why this Galician cave challenges common extinction theories.

Most history focuses on famous sites like Gibraltar or El Cidron, but the story of Neanderthal extinction might be quieter than we think. This video examines the archaeological evidence found at Cova Eros, where evidence suggests these hominids may have shared space with hibernating bears rather than meeting a violent end on open plains.

This breakdown is for anyone interested in human evolution and the specific, often overlooked, sites that reframe our understanding of the past. We analyze why Cova Eros matters for Neanderthal history and what this remote location tells us about their final days in Iberia. By contrasting this site with more theatrical locations, we get a clearer, more grounded picture of their disappearance.
