Riassunto
“Alcuni scienziati difendono i Neanderthal come se fossero una minoranza ingiustamente discriminata [...] e talvolta alcuni antropologi culturali considerano quasi dei razzisti quelli come me, per via delle caratteristiche che attribuiamo ai Neanderthal” afferma Chris Stringer, il cui primo progetto su questi ominidi risale a quando faceva la scuola elementare, all’età di nove anni1.
Conversazione con Chris Stringer, 7 gennaio 2007.
