Neanderthals were a house-proud race who liked to return to home comforts, fresh excavations of caves in Gibraltar have revealed.  Neanderthals used a network of small caves for occasional hunting expeditions before returning to a larger base, which they called home. The dig, carried out at four sites on the Rock, unearthed stone tools and camp fires featuring the remains of seals, ibex and red deer, dating back more than 24,000 years.
