520 8  Since the late 1980s the dominant theory of human origins 
       has been that a 'cognitive revolution' (C.50,000 years 
       ago) led to the advent of our species, Homo sapiens. As a 
       result of this revolution our species spread and 
       eventually replaced all existing archaic Homo species, 
       ultimately leading to the superiority of modern humans.Or 
       so we thought.As Clive Finlayson explains, the latest 
       advances in genetics prove that there was significant 
       interbreeding between Modern Humans and the Neanderthals. 
       All non-Africans today carry some Neanderthal genes. We 
       have also discovered aspects of Neanderthal behaviour that
       indicate that they were not cognitively inferior to modern
       humans, as we once thought, and in fact had their own 
       rituals and art. Finlayson, who is at the forefront of 
       this research, recounts the discoveries of his team, 
       providing evidence that Neanderthals caught birds of prey,
       and used their feathers for symbolic purposes. There is 
       also evidence that Neanderthals practised other forms of 
       art, as the recently discovered engravings in Gorham's 
       Cave Gibraltar indicate.Linking all the recent evidence, 
       The Smart Neanderthal casts a new light on the 
       Neanderthals and the "Cognitive Revolution". Finlayson 
       argues that there was no revolution and, instead, modern 
       behaviour arose gradually and independently among 
       different populations of Modern Humans and Neanderthals. 
       Some practices were even adopted by Modern Humans from the
       Neanderthals. Finlayson overturns classic narratives of 
       human origins, and raises important questions about who we
       really are.
