After new excavations in 1997 and 2000, a park was created on the site of the world-famous discovery. A ticket will issued at the ticket counter upon presentation of a Yearly Pass.

Some anatomists suggested that the bones were those of modern humans and that the unusual form was the result of pathology. Because Neanderthals lived in a land of abundant , which preserved well, and where there has been a long history of prehistoric research, they are better known than any other archaic human group. This flurry of scientific debate coincided with the publication of On the Origin of Species 1859 by , which provided a theoretical foundation upon which fossils could be viewed as a direct record of life over. Museumsspaß für die ganze Familie! Multimedia installations and audio presentations, along with traditional media like informational texts and the exhibits themselves, vividly convey the latest research findings from the fields of archaeology and palaeoanthropology. More ancestors from our extensive family tree — six hominins modelled by the sculptors Adrie and Alfons Kennis — populate the permanent exhibition and invite visitors to feel like part of the extensive human family.
Similar archaic human populations lived at the same time in eastern Asia and in Africa. By cross-breeding modern species and selecting for traits exhibited by aurochs and tarpan, animals were produced that closely resemble their ancestors. Well over 200 individuals are represented, including over 70 juveniles. One of the most popular and most modern museums of Europe is situated on the ground where the most famous German was discovered 160 years ago: the Neanderthal man. The limb bones were robustly built, with large articular surfaces on the ends that is, surfaces at joints that are typically covered with cartilage and bone shafts that were bowed front to back.

Visitors will undertake a journey through time, exploring human history - from our beginnings in Africa more than 4 million years ago, up to the present. The life-sized figures in the museum were created on the basis of fossil finds and scientific reconstruction methods. Neanderthals inhabited Eurasia from the Atlantic regions of Europe eastward to , from as far north as present-day Belgium and as far south as the Mediterranean and southwest Asia. The museum and the Neander Valley with a number of visitor attractions welcome visitors from around the world. Those who would like to learn Stone Age crafts, or just try them out, can take part in a workshop or course at the museum's Stone Age Workshop.
. However, more recent discoveries about this well-preserved Eurasian population have revealed an overlap between living and archaic humans. In der Sonderausstellung begegnet ihr lebensgroßen Gladiatoren in originalgetreuer Kampfmontur und probiert die Ausrüstung selbst an. When two fossil skeletons that resembled the original Feldhofer remains were discovered at Spy, Belgium, in 1886, the pathology explanation for the curious of the bones was abandoned. The Discovery Site Feldhofer Cave, where the remains of the original Neanderthal were discovered in 1856, was destroyed as a result of quarry work. The Museum In 1856, in the Neander Valley near Düsseldorf, quarry workers discovered the bones of an Ice Age human — Neanderthals had arrived. Their survival during tens of thousands of years of the last glaciation is a remarkable testament to human.
The traces of the artists repeatedly connect in various ways to the landscape along the pathway. Steinzeitgeburtstage für Kinder Wir freuen uns, mit dir einen echten Steinzeitgeburtstag zu feiern.
