Could someone please upload a .pdf file of this paper? Currently I am working on my MA thesis which involves estimating Neandertal home range size through the...
Fam: I would gladly upload this for you if I had access to the journal. Unfortunately, I don't. If somebody here has access, I would like to read it too. It...
Has any evidence been found that neandertals crafted and used dug-out canoes, reed rafts or other simple boats? I think a stone tool was found with reed...
DDeden: Nothing direct or indisputable, but possible and intriguing. I believe there have been remains of seals found among Gibraltar Neandertal remains....
Thanks Anne G. I'm thinking that non-butted hand axes were core remnants, while butted hand axes/adzes were wood working tools (not butchering knives) used for...
DDeden: This is entirely possible. Robert G. Bednarik thinks the origins of "modern" behavior may like in the /*Lower*/ Paleolithic. He also seems to think...

OTOH, I'm thinking that neandertals may have had the simplest of dug-outs while the quickly invading H sapiens had a better boat technology which allowed them...

DDeden: Why would it "follow" that Neandertals "had the simplest of dug-outs" whereas the "quickly-invading H.sapiens had a better boat technology"? Statements...
a) neandertals and sapiens both had dug-outs b) neandertals had none, sapiens had dug-outs c) neandertals had dug-outs, sapiens had ribbed skin-boats. d)...
Can someone enlighten me about the following? Could Neanderthals have evolved from Homo heidelbergenis? Did Neanderthals finally end Heidelbergenis after both...
... The neandertals most likely evolved from heidelbergensis. Indeed, the material from the Sima de los Huesos in Atapuerca, Spain, is heidelbergensis with...
Maller: To take the last question first: We don't know how, or why, Neandertals "ended". What their fate may have been, depends on who you ask. So, by the...
DDeden: The problem is, there is exactly */no/* evidence for any of these "associations", either among Neandertals or among "modern" humans. This is why I was...
On the island of flores, Indonesia, where only boating, accidental rafting, swimming or elephant riding could have brought Homo to it's shore, this was noted: ...
I agree with Anne that nobody knows this for sure, but I think that Eurasian erectus evolved into heidelbergensis and neanderthals. I base this on trait...
DDeden: Something just occurred to me yesterday, /*after*/ I read this post, and "digested" it for a while. And that is, that while dugouts are a fairly ...
Dug-outs are the most primitive transit vehicle ever manufactured by Homo which mostly protected (via the wooden hull) it's occupants from typical dangers....
DDeden: Well, the problem here is your use of the word "primitive". Having majored in anthropology at one time, I learned that this word is to be avoided when...
Note that I did not say simply "first watercraft". Dugouts were the first (multipassenger) vehicles which offered relatively good in-transit protection against...
