Neanderthals may be as mythical as Homer Simpson..
I realize Homer is a real thing but totally a cartoon..

Science-fiction must appear logical else whats the point..
Reality need not be logical at all.. nothing to prove..

[To Hell With Poverty]

Okay, so I see that the items were found in the layers indicating the time in which they were made, but is there any real evidence pointing to who created them? Did they find tools alongside the object that would have been used to make them? I’m thinking maybe the Neandertals could have taken them from modern humans either by force, as hunting trophies perhaps, or even through trade. Wouldn’t that be something, if we once traded with Neandertals. What if they misundertood our intentions and traded all their territory for a few bone baubles...
