>> Neanderthals possessed great mental flexibility and adaptability, coupled with manual dexterity.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

The world could start a million times and we would would repeat the same trail a million times.

I have always believed that the human brain is pre-programed and "living" taps this brain resource as needed...a process I call "pondering"...or the search for a solution.

Of course, all of this was just what people needed to survive, hunt and trade with the big cities on the coast and at river mouths - now under hundreds of feet of water and more hundreds of feet of sediment.

Sure, but I was referring to that particular area of Germany, which is home to a number of high-end machine tool companies.

Kinda like, they started 45,000 years ago and never stopped.
