Andrés Díez-Herrero

Andrés Díez-Herrero is a geologist associated with the Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME-CSIC) and a member of the team that discovered the world's oldest known Neanderthal fingerprint on a stone artifact. This significant finding, made during excavations at the Abrigo de San Lázaro site in Segovia, Spain, sheds light on the symbolic thinking and artistic capabilities of Neanderthals, dating back approximately 43,000 years.
