Paleoanthropologist Ludovic Slimak is a Neanderthal hunter. He has spent 30 years slipping into the “cracks and crevices” of Neanderthals.

Slimak has found Mousterian stone tools, typically Neanderthal, from 28,500 years ago. He argues that cannibalism due to hunger only occurs among desperate humans who are outside their territory. The Naked Neanderthal is published by Simon & Schuster at £16.99 (including Kindle)
