Film Lens
Decoding Neanderthals examines the interaction between modern humans and Neanderthals over 60,000 years ago. It presents the context of their coexistence during the Ice Age in Europe, a time when Neanderthals had already inhabited the continent for hundreds of thousands of years. The film raises questions about whether these two groups engaged in conflict or formed relationships.
The documentary provides insights into the conditions of Europe during this period and the implications for human evolution. By focusing on the arrival of modern humans from Africa, it sets the stage for understanding the dynamics between these two species and the eventual fate of the Neanderthals.
