‘War of the Gargantuas’ (1966) is a perennial fave for late-night t.v. addicts from the 1970s, where it played in heavy rotation courtesy of Henry Saperstein’s importing of Toho efforts when no one else was interested. Though often poorly dubbed owing to Saperstein’s limited budgets, at least these films were shown theatrically and then on to television as a result of his efforts.

So what happened when the first modern humans encountered the Neanderthals? Did we make love or war? That question has tantalized generations of scholars and seized the popular imagination. Then, in 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo announced stunning news. Not only had they reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome—an extraordinary technical feat that would have seemed impossible only a decade ago—but their analysis showed that “we” modern humans had interbred with Neanderthals, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today. In “Decoding Neanderthals,” NOVA explores the implications of this exciting discovery.
