Neanderthal is the story of the rise and demise of one the most successful human species ever to have walked the earth.  A species that thrived – until modern man came along.  Produced as a compelling drama following the lives of one group of Neanderthals, the special draws on cutting-edge scientific research that challenges the stereotype of the brutish savage.  (Accompanied by a 1-hour Making Of special.)
