Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art

I didn't find this terribly interesting. Possibly because I wasn't invested in a narrative of Neanderthals as knuckle dragging cavemen in the first place, therefore I'm not invested in countering that narrative either. Heavily technical, lots on the detail of chipping stone, and rather dry except for the passages of purple prose and poetry (eeesh) at the start of each chapter.
TBH though, I noped out on Ancestors: A History of Britain in Seven Burials in chapter one, and The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity was a near death experience, so it's possible I simply don't find prehistory interesting and should stop reading about it. You can't be interested in everything. Or I can't be, anyway.
Read as part of the 12 book challenge which is not going so well this year, hey ho.
