Aahhh, I’m just a simple housewife, but isn’t it well established that the Neanderthals thrived during the Ice Age? You’d assume that, barring the discovery of a thick pelt, fire use would be a given.
Yeah. There’s a weird racist bias against Neandertal, been that way since Virchow decided the fossil remains were 18th century naked cossacks who picked that cave to starve in.
