Horizon investigates a strange skull that was discovered in 1848 on the military outpost of Gibraltar.

As more remains were discovered one thing became clear, this creature had once lived right across Europe. The remains were named Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal man) an ancient and primitive form of human.
