the trouble with the neanderthal theory is that you see a lot of this rock art in north africa where modern humans hung out for many thousands of years before crossing over into europe.

So... spray paint was invented 30,000 years ago,
and these guys’ next invention was “GoJo” to get the stuff off the back of their left hand.

She wonders why Neanderthals waited until about the time humans arrived to get the itch to paint. If the DNA evidence is correct and they did interbreed, then why isn't it conceivable that the painting was learned behavior from 'modern' humans?

Amazing to examine, “from the outside”, the conclusions that folks reach based on their evolutionary, millions of years assumptions. And they don’t even understand that they HAVE assumptions.

I think there is a mystery being missed in this story..
Where did the ‘paint’ come from?
Being Neanderthals, how is it they ‘discovered’ how to make and use paint (or plant dye)?
Also, those are some really small fingers for a Neanderthal.

Because the alternative is simply unacceptable. ;-)

Wolves and coyotes are generally agreed to be different species.
And yet there are many coyote populations that are 1-4% of wolf ancestry - much as most human populations are apparently of 1-4% of Neanderthal ancestry.
Wolves and coyotes are closely related.
Humans and Neanderthals were closely related.
But they are NOT the same species.
