About

This Mother’s Day, discover the fascinating insights we have into the life of women during the Stone Age.

From Neanderthals to the modern human women who lived tens of thousands of years ago, learn about the roles women could have played in the deep past, as well as the importance of grandmothers in human evolution.

This talk will take place both in person at Creswell Crags and online via Zoom Webinar (if you join via Zoom, you will not be on camera or microphone, but will be able to ask questions).

For those attending in person, there will also be the opportunity to ask questions and handle replica artefacts relating to this thought-provoking topic.
