Poor fellow... was smart and brave. Thought he/she would try and stomp it out.

Assuming they truly are Neanderthals, it's a reasonable – even if not solid – bet that the footprints were left by a gang of young Neanderthal adults.

Yutes.

Perhaps this is also a means of dating the use of beer.

LOL!...............Hold muh grog and watch this!................

[fidelis]

Yup.

Woke Neanderthals ....delivering their grievances to The Man

[Gen.Blather]

Yep, they had to climb up there to throw the virgin in. Probably it was some poor girl who was “deemed” a virgin as volcanoes are pretty stupid. Bet she was beauty challenged as well. No sense in wasting a perfectly good sacrifice if you can just find one who will serve.

(In burials of the nomadic peoples in the Russian step, it was found that they sacrificed some very old horses and some slaves who were obviously past their best by.)

Perhaps disaster tourism isn't a recent thing, after all.

You'd think, with the passing of time, people would've grown smarter...but no...

Possibilities:

• They were trying to rescue Ugg who had made some really bad choices in life.
• They were temporarily headed up to reach a safer trail down.
• There was a nagging woman at home, and this seemed like a reasonable get away.
• Hold our beers and watch this.
• There was free barbecued mountain goat for the taking.
• They were heading up to offer sacrifices to appease the Volcano God.
• Prehistoric Hillary was getting rid of her slate mail.
• Prehistoric Biden had wondered off.
• Lava sledding.

The first of the Biden blood line and it never got any better.
