Neanderthal - 65,000-35,000 YA Flower Burial
Finds
-
8 adult and 2 infant Neanderthal skeletons
-
1 burial had pollen remains which indicates flowers were put on the grave
-
1 adult male skeleton was servilely deformed (amputated right arm, blind in left eye)
Behaviour
-
The deformed male lived until he was 40 this shows that Neanderthals were caring as he wouldn't have been able to care for himself efficiently with his wounds, this shows cognitive behaviour and evidence of caring for elders, it has been recorded in prehistoric times that people with deformities were seen as wise people and maybe even touched by the gods.
