Overview

¿Y si hubiéramos malinterpretado quiénes eran realmente los neandertales?

«Slimak ha dado con la piedra Rosetta del mundo neandertal».
The New Scientist

Durante más de un siglo consideramos a los neandertales inferiores a los Homo sapiens, y en los últimos tiempos pensamos que la diferencia estaba en sus lejanas tradiciones culturales. Pero, ¿cuál es la verdad? Ludovic Slimak, uno de los mayores especialistas mundiales en el estudio de los neandertales, ha seguido incansablemente la pista de lo que él llama la criatura, como si se tratara de un ser misterioso que se atisba a lo lejos, en la bruma.
 
El neandertal desnudo es un riguroso libro de paleoantropología, pero, sobre todo, un cuaderno de viajes que nos sumerge en una apasionante expedición arqueológica desde las extensiones heladas del Círculo Polar Ártico hasta los profundos bosques mediterráneos. También es un fascinante relato de treinta años de investigaciones, búsquedas, excavaciones y trabajo de campo. Cada yacimiento encontrado tiene una historia que contar. Y al encontrarse cara a cara con el hombre neandertal, Slimak descubre a un ser sorprendente cuya verdadera naturaleza parece habérsenos escapado por completo. ¿Tan inconcebible nos resulta una inteligencia divergente de la nuestra?
 
Slimak vuelca en este libro sus asombrosos descubrimientos y una visión inquietante que cuestiona drásticamente nuestras creencias sobre los neandertales, la forma en que los concebimos y las razones de su asombrosa extinción. Por medio de una imagen renovada de la especie, nos muestra hasta qué punto nuestros prejuicios nos han impedido valorar sus logros, una ceguera que él relaciona convincentemente con las formas modernas de racismo. Nos revela sus descubrimientos con emoción, sentido del humor y gran pulso narrativo, y nos enfrenta de lleno a nuestras fantasías y proyecciones sobre esta humanidad extinguida. Su hallazgo es el neandertal. Pero de esta mirada cruzada a través de los milenios emerge también un inesperado retrato de nosotros mismos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A riveting scientific journey exploring the enigma of the Neanderthal and the species’ unique form of intelligence.
 
What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? What if we had misjudged who Neanderthals really were?
 
For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different -- and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours.
