And you'll learn a surprising fact - Neandertal artists worked with pigments. Yes, they did, and there're finds to prove it! You'll have a chance to decide for yourself if the evidence really does point to "singing Neandertals." We'll stay in Europe much of the time, but take a quick trip to Israel to meet "Moshe" and analyze traces of hunting and fire remains. What do they prove?
