Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans left their African homeland and entered Europe, where Neanderthals had been living for hundreds of thousands of years. In 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome, discovering that they had interbred with humans, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today. In this program, Nova explores a range of new evidence for Neanderthal self-expression and language, suggesting we may have underestimated our mysterious, long-vanished human cousins.
