Neanderthals• Nearly complete skeleton in
shallow grave at la Chapelle aux Saints (found 1908) became generalized description:
• Misshapen individual: acutely curved spine from osteoarthritis, thus being bent-over or hunched; old and highly degenerated
• Hardly representative of greater (i.e., younger and healthier) population

Levallois Technique
By late Mousterian a variety of fairly finely worked stone tools were being used by Neanderthal populations

Ceremonialism• Evidence from burials shows that
Neanderthals accommodated the sick and injured in life. Some living individuals were in very bad physical condition requiring care by others: La Chapelle; evidence of blind and maimed individual
• Treated the dead with honor and ritual; Grave goods?
