Neanderthals on Trial | Full Documentary | NOVA | PBS

Were Neanderthals human like us, or were they sub-human brutes? Since the discovery of the first Neanderthal skeleton in 1856, scientists have battled over exactly how we're related to these prehistoric cave-dwellers. There's plenty of new evidence, including DNA analysis, but nothing seems to settle the case. Neanderthals on trial takes a look at the debate, showing how science works, and how investigators sometimes fool themselves into seeing what they want to see
