A new analysis of fossils found in a Spanish cave suggests Neanderthals were capable of abstract thought, before any interactions with Homo sapiens.

A total of 15 small marine fossils were found in the Prado Vargas Cave in Burgos, and according to researchers from the University of Burgos and the University of Málaga in Spain, the majority of them would have had little practical value.
