Neanderthal man found in Poland

The fossilised remains of a males from the Neanderthal period have been found in the Stajnia cave, in Bobolice, around 50 kilometres from Katowice, southern Poland.   Archaeologist MikoĊ‚aj Urbanowski told Polskie Radio that not only the remains of a pre-historic man were found in Poland, but there is also reason to believe that the bodies may have been buried. If proven, this would be a breakthrough discovery, as theories so far claimed that the Neanderthal men did not bury their dead.

 “We found the remains of not one, but three people. Some facts seem to suggest that the site may have been a burial place,” he said.

 The Stajnia cave is the first place in the whole of Central East Europe where evidence of Neanderthal man has been found. So far in Poland, only tools used by the Neanderthal people have been recovered.
