The first finding of a Neanderthal Swiss Army Bone Tool.
Used to be ubiquitous in the region.

And a few years later they had refined it even more ...

Why they put a phillips head driver on it is still being debated.

Humans act like humans. Film at 11?

It does surprise me that people are repeatedly astounded that the guys who made complex tools, controlled fire, communicated, made art and made clothing were people.

Should I blame Hollywood or the school system?

I’m seeing evidence that sapiens had bows and arrows 53000 years ago. That’s far superior technology than the spear the neanderthals had. Its even greater than the advantage the steppe people had with chariots and horses, and their metallurgy skills. (plus they were head and shoulders bigger than eveyone else.

First off, it can’t be 130,000 years old for the simple reason it would have been fossilized...

Second, if it’s not fossilized it can’t be 130,000 years old...

Third, Neanderthals were humans just like everyone else...

I still remember when they thought Aborigines were missing links...
See: Quigley down under...

When your life depends on what you do next you become inventive.
