The cave is positioned kind of 20 km west of the metropolis of Varaždin and 10 km north of Ivanec. It is expected that Neanderthals used the cave forty,000 years ago; approximately 8000 years before contemporary people lived in that a part of Europe. The hominid specimens at level 3G are seemed as truthfully Neanderthal in normal morphology but show off a number of trends that take a seat toward anatomically contemporary Europeans than to the conventional Neanderthal.

These encompass a thinner and less projecting forehead ridge, decreased facial length, and narrower the front tooth.Though a few have positioned those variations right down to the small size of the Vindija people, a study conducted in 1995 mounted that the Vindija Neanderthals, even though small, have been of comparable size to more morphologically conventional Neanderthals which includes La Ferassie 2, Shanidar 1 and 4, and Tabun
