Archaeologists recently unearthed a bone projectile point someone dropped on a cave floor between 70,000 and 80,000 years ago ...

More than 100 years ago, eight eagle talons were excavated from a famous Neanderthal site called Krapina, and subsequently left in a drawer at the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb.

Imagine standing face-to-face with a Neanderthal, looking into eyes that reflect a world both alien and achingly familiar.
