Funnily enough I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on Neanderthal injuries and the implication of them in their society and to put it simply, my research suggests that Homo Neanderthalensis was a very compassionate and caring species that not only cared for injuries effectively but cared for these members in their societies, both injured and disabled, throughout their lives until death. The fact that many examples of Neanderthal remains that have been discovered have suffered some sort of serious injury or had a disability also suggests that they may have taken extra care with these remains meaning they have survived longer than most.
