Summary:
- Archaeologists have uncovered a 60,000-year-old complex structure created by Neanderthals in France, providing insights into their cognitive abilities and social organization.
- The structure, consisting of a circular arrangement of large stones, is believed to have been used for activities such as gathering, socializing, or even symbolic purposes by the Neanderthal community.
- The discovery challenges the traditional view of Neanderthals as simple, primitive hominins, and suggests they had a more advanced understanding of their environment and the ability to work collectively to construct complex structures.
