Chris Stringer and David Gamble belong to neither of these schools. As far as they are concerned, the Neanderthals are pre-history. All that we have of them, simple artefacts apart, are a few score fossil finds, which have yielded only a dozen reasonably complete skeletons. To animate these fragments, the authors synthesise two approaches. Erik Trinkaus and David Shipman addressed the problem in their recent book, The Neanderthals: Changing the Image of Mankind (Jonathan Cape, pounds 20). Stringer and Gamble's own response is to approach their subject with unrelenting scepticism.

Christopher Brian "Chris" Stringer FRS (born 1947), is a British physical anthropologist noted for his work on human evolution. Growing up in a working-class family in the East End of London, Stringer's interest in anthropology began in primary school, where he undertook a project on Neanderthals. Stringer studied anthropology at University College London, holds a PhD in Anatomical Science and a DSc in Anatomical Science (both from Bristol University.

Christopher Brian Stringer. Westernmost Europe constitutes a key location in determining the timing of the replacement of Neanderthals by anatomically modern humans (AMHs). In this study, the replacement of late Mousterian industries by Aurignacian ones at the site of Bajondillo Cave (Málaga, southern Spain) is reported.

Here he sets out his views for the first time, with the archaeologist Clive Gamble. Step by step the authors put forward their case.
