Neanderthals in the Levant landscape

While researchers believe Neanderthals to have been a separate species from modern humans, the two groups did overlap for a period of time in parts of what is now Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

This research posits that Neanderthals were more adapted to diverse landscapes and site types than previously thought.
