Old Teeth Show How Neanderthals Lived

Introduction

Scientists found old teeth in a cave in Poland. These teeth are from Neanderthals. They lived 100,000 years ago. The scientists studied the DNA in the teeth.

Main Body

The scientists looked at eight teeth. They found seven different people. These people lived near mountains in Poland. The DNA was the same as Neanderthals in Spain, France, and other places. This means Neanderthals traveled a lot. They did not stay in one small place. Some teeth belonged to a mother and her children. This shows they lived in families. The weather was very cold in the Ice Age. Because of the cold, the people moved to find food and warmth. The scientists compared these teeth to teeth from France. This helps them understand the time better.

Conclusion

Neanderthals did not live alone. They traveled far and met other groups. They had families and moved across Europe.
