Neanderthal tools present new challenges to archaeologists

August 12, 2013

(CNN) -- Neanderthals likely died off about 30,000 years ago, but they may have come up with a tool-making technique that influenced later humans in Europe, a new study suggests.

Scientists have uncovered evidence that Neanderthals were making specialized bone tools before modern humans arrived in Europe.

"It opens the possibility that in this case, maybe they" -- modern humans in Europe -- "learned this tool type from Neanderthals," said Shannon McPherron, co-author of the study and an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
