Prof Mina Weinstein Evron Archaeologist with latest fascinating findings in the Carmel caves. (English)

Have you heard about Israel’s prehistoric Carmel caves? In 1929, English archaeologist Dorothy Garrod and an all-female team arrived at a site in Israel’s Carmel mountain range and began to dig deeply into the caves within. One day Garrod sent a message to her family back home in which she announced, with great excitement, that she had “found Man.” Her parents who have given up hope that their 40 year old daughter would ever marry, were excited. They didn’t realize that Dorothy’s Man was actually the skeleton of a Neanderthal woman — the first-ever to be discovered outside of Europe. Professor Mina Weinstein Evron, an Archaeologist from Haifa University, will tell us about the latest fascinating findings in the Carmel caves. (English)
