Synopsis

Scientist Richard Rudgley investigates the truth about Neanderthal society, claiming that early man's ingenuity created the conditions for Egypt's rise to international power. Evidence from the greatest archaeological sites demonstrates ancient cultures' skills in medicine, dentistry, math, astronomy, art and language, long before the dawn of written history. Rudgley also explores the interspecies relationships between two remaining branches of hominids on the earth 40,000 years ago, Homo neanderthalensis, and Home sapien.
