What if Neanderthals weren't who we thought they were? This adaptation of the first volume of Ludovic Slimak's successful trilogy, subtly illustrated by the accomplished artist Frédéric Bihel, marks the launch of the new “Odile Jacob BD" collection.

With this immersive graphic work, Frédéric Bihel turns Naked Neanderthal into a scientific travelogue in which Ludovic Slimak’s unconventional perspective profoundly questions the nature of our humanity through the disconcerting portrait of an enigmatic Neanderthal. With the archeologist’s signature lively (and sometimes caustic) style, he dismantles preconceived ideas and examines the projections we impose on this extinct branch of humanity.
