• HERITAGE SITE: Gorham's Cave, where a Neanderthal skull was discovered in 1848 |
GIBRALTAR will look to cash in on its role in human evolution with a new four-year plan to develop tourism.
Chief Minister Fabian Picardo has formed a committee tasked with boosting visitor numbers by promoting the Rock’s heritage and its links to Neanderthal man.
The plans include a world-first ‘Neanderthal Park’ and a commemoration of Gorham’s Cave, where a Neanderthal skull was discovered in 1848.
The site is currently being considered as a possible World Heritage site, with a decision expected later this year.
Gibraltar is the last known place where Neanderthals survived.

Sorry Gib. this isn’t true, there were definitely some neanderthals down the pub last night, gnawing on pork scratchings and communicating by grunts.
