The main evidence supporting this theory was the discovery that Neanderthals buried their dead. The ritualistic/symbolic manner in which the bodies were buried as well as certain items buried with the corpses, indicates some form of belief system.

Neanderthal skeletons were found in graves with hands neatly folded, surrounded by fossilized pollen. This is a clear indication that they were buried with flowers in some sort of funeral ceremony. This shows thought and compassion and a possible afterlife belief system. Tools were also found and possibly a musical instrument buried with some of the Neanderthal remains.
