Neanderthal in the media


Part A
  1. Create a list of terms that you associate with the human relative Neanderthal.
  2. Do a google image search and create a graphic that represents how you believe the public perceives Neanderthal
  3. Create a post/tweet/snap that reflects the popular perception of Neanderthal (this does not require the use of the associated platforms for production)


Part B

  1. For each of the stereotypes presented with either the list you have created or from the images you have chosen to use attempt to find evidence that would refute or rewrite our understanding (misunderstanding?) of Neanderthal.
