Gibraltar is notable for its rich fossil record, particularly in the Gorham's Cave complex, where Neanderthal remains have been discovered alongside various tools and artifacts. Marine fossils, including mollusks and corals, are also prevalent, indicating the region's historical connections to marine environments. Additionally, fossils of large terrestrial mammals, such as elephants and hippos, have been found, reflecting the diverse prehistoric ecosystems that once existed there.
The first Neanderthal fossils were found in Gibraltar when tunnels were built for defence, but they were not recognised as a different human species at the time. The first fossils to be recognised as different from modern humans were found in the Neander Valley, near Dusseldorf, Germany.
