Camilla Power will be comparing the evidence for the emergence of language, art and symbolism between the lineages of Neanderthals in Eurasia and Homo sapiens in Africa. Some similarities and some differences are suggested by archaeological, fossil, demographic and palaeogenomic data.Did both populations engage in the human symbolic revolution, and was this fundamental to interchange between them?
