“We” who?

[Fido969]

Their idea of “prehistoric” is prior to the year 2000.

“We” who?”
The “experts” or maybe the scientist?

"Prehistoric moms cared for kids better than we thought"

Actually, I didn't have any firm views on the subject of how prehistoric moms cared for their kids.

[Vaquero]

We’re reentering the prehistoric era

[Telepathic Intruder]

Until now I always assumed prehistoric moms hated their kids.

Prehistoric moms cared for kids better than we thought.

Well yeah....everyone on the planet has antecedents that protected their offspring....think Chinese "Tiger Moms" are tough...way back when they had cave bear moms.

Of of the DNA test companies says I have more Neanderthal DNA than 71% of the general population. You are posting about my ancestors!

But you knew it had to be done well or we wouldn’t be here.

Pebbles and Bam-Bam always seemed pretty healthy to me. Don’t these researchers ever watch TV?

Infants are so incredibly fragile that it seems impossible that they could survive and grow to adolescence unless they were cared for in an attentive and near continuous manner. This is so unlike primates and all other animals. Just more evidence in opposition to evolution.

UN data.. lol

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yeah but were they racist back then and were the gender woke?

[EEGator]

I heard they cared more about moving up the corporate ladder than their children. They left them at day care centers with Neanderthals even...

[Telepathic Intruder]

Jeez I hate to think what day care centers were like back then.

Almost certainly spanked them when they acted up. Darwin took of those who tried other approaches.

[Tai_Chung]

Are they saying that prehistoric mom did not embrace gender fluidity, me-too movement, gay rights, animal rights, and the woke lifestyle?

Here’s the article’s money shot:

“The researchers would also like to see greater emphasis placed on the stories of women in past populations, which they say have long been neglected in favor of male stories.”
