What? Did they find empty Skoal containers?

14,000 to 23,000 years ago.
Tough time to be alive in Europe. Those years actually encompass the last Glacial Maximum.
Almost no evidence that European humans were cultivating their own food before 10,000 years ago, so staying alive meant 100% hunting and gathering for you and your family.
Any time a new group of humans wandered into your territory there was always the possibility that you would have to fight to the death to evict them.
I do not want to even think about cleanliness, food preparation, and bathroom habits.
How humans got from that life to our life in 2022 is one amazing story.
I’v been flintknapping for 30 years and attending prim tech events just as long and this is the first time I have seen the word, “radiolarite.”
Hunting and consuming protein excess to our dietary needs is what made us the hairless ape that walks erect and thinks abstractly.
When those people partied it was the Merry Magdalenian culture.
A real man cave. Where is the flat screen tv and sports bar?
