INTO THE SHADOWLAND - PODCAST
October 2022: Svante Pääbo wins the Nobel Prize. The Neanderthal genome is sequenced, and we begin to understand: Our human cousins weren't grunting brutes, but rather skilful, resourceful, and empathetic. What if they didn't go extinct? Could they have survived to this day?“INTO THE SHADOWLAND masterfully blends anthropological science with vivid storytelling, offering a gripping exploration of human resilience, culture, and belief in a forgotten world. With an archaeologist’s precision and a novelist’s imagination, J.M.G. SCHMIDT reconstructs an ancient way of life that feels startlingly real.Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins.” Patrick Keeney, Canadian author and journalist

Podcast Buch: Das Tal der Verborgenen
Irgendwo da draußen, tief in den Bergen, unerkannt und unentdeckt leben sie: unsere Ahnen, die Neandertaler: kluge Wesen, begnadete Jäger, aus der Geschichte gelöscht … bis jetzt.Lilly Feron hätte nicht geglaubt, dass ihr ruhiges Leben als Leiterin eines Wolfsparks in Utah durch ein einzelnes totes Tier auf den Kopf gestellt werden würde. Doch als auf einer Waldstraße ein Wolf verendet, der als ausgestorben gilt und in dessen Hals eine eigentümliche Speerspitze steckt, ändert sich alles.Die Waffe wurde aus nur wenige Jahrzehnte altem Knochen eines Neandertalers gefertigt - schier unglaublich, denn die Frühmenschen sollen bereits vor 35.000 Jahren ausgestorben sein.Tief in den Bitterroot Bergen hatte ein Fallensteller einen ähnlichen Wolf gesehen. War es dasselbe Tier?Lilly und der Paläoanthropologe Austin Walker gehen der Sache nach und kommen zu einem erstaunlichen Schluss: Irgendwo da draußen könnten Neandertaler bis heute überlebt haben!Auf der spannenden Suche nach der Wahrheit stoßen sie auf eine geheimnisvolle Welt, die alles in Frage stellt, was sie über die Geschichte der Menschheit und das Leben in der Wildnis zu wissen glaubten.Die Behörden aber setzen alles daran, dem ein rasches Ende zu bereiten.Die Vergangenheit lebt. Sie wartet. Und sie wird ans Licht kommen.“Das Tal der Verborgenen verbindet meisterhaft anthropologische Wissenschaft mit lebendigem Geschichtenerzählen. Es bietet eine packende Erkundung der Widerstandskraft des Menschen, seiner Kultur und seines Glaubens an eine vergessene Welt. Mit der Präzision eines Archäologen und der Vorstellungskraft eines Schriftstellers rekonstruiert J.M.G. Schmidt eine uralte Lebensweise, die sich verblüffend real anfühlt. Wer denkt, Neandertaler waren grunzende Bestien, wird eines Besseren belehrt. Diese faszinierende Reise in unsere Vergangenheit wird alles infrage stellen, was Sie über unsere lange verlorenen Cousins zu wissen glaubten.” —Patrick Keeney, kanadischer Autor und Journalist
