Shanidar Z — The 75,000-Year-Old Neanderthal Woman Whose Crushed Skull Was Rebuilt From More Than 200 Pieces
Something deliberate.
Something that required effort and intention.
Something that left traces we can still find, 75,000 years later.
Whether that something involved flowers, we cannot say with certainty.
Whether it involved what we would call grief, we cannot say at all.
Whether it involved beliefs about what death meant or what happened to the person after death, we are entirely outside the reach of the evidence.
What we can say is that the traces left behind are consistent with care.
