Prehistoric Autopsy: Neanderthal

SINOPSIS

New series. Professor Alice Roberts and Dr George McGavin present the first of three episodes running on consecutive nights in which anatomists, anthropologists, archaeologists and special effects experts bring viewers face-to-face with a trio of humanity's closest ancestors. In the opening programme, paleoartist Viktor Deak and a team of model-makers reconstruct an entire Neanderthal body and provide a unique insight into how the extinct species looked and lived, as well as examining their similarities to modern people.
