Secrets of the Neanderthals Movie Reviews

Full of unbased speculations

There are too many assumptions they regard as conclusions. Not every circle is evidence for religion, and not every corpse in a cave is sacred burial. There could be so many other explanations for things, but it feels the show just chooses the most poetic ones as truth. Someone was found dead in a natural pose in front of a rock? Ahh he must have been put there as a religious ceremony and this is probably the beginning of religion.

If they have better reasons to why the jumped si high for these conclusions, they didn’t explain them.

Also, i found the reenactments cringey, and the pacing is off. There are some parts that have modern world updates that are really longer than they should be. No, i don’t need a 5 minutes update on the history of iraq just so they can tell me that that archeologist didn’t come back to the site…

Unveiling Our Mysterious Cousins

If you’re curious about Neanderthals, BBC Studio’s new documentary “Secrets of the Neanderthals” offers a compelling look at these enigmatic human ancestors. Narrated by the ever-intriguing Sir Patrick Stewart, the doc delves into recent discoveries that challenge traditional views of Neanderthals.

The focus on the Shanidar Cave excavation in Iraqi Kurdistan is particularly captivating. Here, we see archaeologists unearth new evidence that sheds light on Neanderthal behavior and rituals. The documentary also explores intriguing sites in France and Croatia, adding depth to the Neanderthal story.

While some sections might feel like a refresher for those already familiar with Neanderthals, the fresh research and engaging presentation make it worthwhile. However, the film could have benefited from a bit more on the reasons for their eventual extinction.

Overall, “Secrets of the Neanderthals” is a solid documentary that will leave you wanting to know more about our closest extinct relatives. It’s perfect for a casual watch and a good fit for anyone interested in human evolution and prehistory. (7 out of 10)
