In caves in Europe and Southwest Asia, anthropologists have found remains of early Homo sapiens called Neanderthals. They lived about 35,000 to 130,ooo years ago, during the Old Stone Age. They wore animal skins as clothing and used fire for warmth and for cooking. Their tools were more efficient than the tools of earlier hominids. They also differed in that they buried their dead. They also buried meat and tools with their dead, maybe suggesting they believed in some form of life after death. Eventually Neanderthals disappeared.
