Timeline Of Neanderthal Fossil Discoveries

For a long time, Neanderthals were described as less intelligent relatives of today’s humans. Today we know that they were intelligent, skilled toolmakers and resourceful hunters, but much is still unknown. Whatever we know about them, we have learnt from the fossils discovered. There have been many Neanderthal fossil discoveries over the years. Here is a list of some of the most important ones:
Engis Skull (1829) - One of the first Neanderthal fossils discovered, found in a cave in Belgium.
Forbes' Quarry (1848) - A partial skull found in Gibraltar, which was the first Neanderthal fossil discovered outside of Belgium.
Neander Valley (1856) - The site where the type specimen of Homo neanderthalensis (the first recognized Neanderthal specimen) was discovered in Germany.
Goyet Cave (1867) - A site in Belgium where several Neanderthal fossils were found, as well as evidence of early human use of fire.
Krapina site (1899-1905) - Numerous Neanderthal fossils found in a cave in Croatia, including over 800 bones and fragments.
La Chapelle-aux-Saints (1908) - A nearly complete Neanderthal skeleton found in France, which was one of the first to be extensively studied.
Le Moustier (1908) - A site in France where a partial Neanderthal skull was found, as well as numerous stone tools.
