Did Human and Neanderthals Share Art Tips? What we know about Human-Neanderthal Interactions!
Hello, and Welcome to the latest episode of the Paleo Post Podcast! This, I think, is one of the most detailed and informed episodes we have had yet! Georgie and I discuss Rock and Cave Art as a whole, who their authors could have been if they were Neanderthal, and what happened when Modern Humans entered the picture. Was it possible that they learned from us and that their art became “more advanced” prior to their extinction?
I guess you will have to listen to find out!
We also talk about what it would be like to live a day in the life of an Ice Age individual, and how important it is to know and try to reconstruct that, what it would mean for science and show that archaeology is no longer all about showing how all items found are ritualistic in nature; but rather that many of them most likely had a utilitarian use.
We had a great deal of fun discussing this, so I hope you enjoy listening.
The links below are information on some of the stories that we talked about; since a great deal of what we talked about is general information and not from any specific publication, perhaps look into things such as :
Neanderthal Art
Neanderthal Cognition
Neanderthal and AMH Cultural Transmission
Chauvet and other major Cave Art Sites in Europe
Finally, you can learn more about the rope-making items found here - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/stone-age-people-used-this-35000-year-old-woolly-mammoth-tusk-tool-to-make-rope-scientists-say-180983714/?fbclid=IwAR26oEWHvRgMDTNm_W05pZ0fdQy7HCkpHMGh7DdtVg-E5r_uF0Rcn560l7s_aem_AUUauQLmSIAeL03q4GhM2SiRPF8MwOfojuPB5Pd9VRObZIQ688L4lhxkVqNkYtLp_0Y
And you can find more information about the bones that seem to show Humans in Europe earlier than we “thought”, although again, as I mentioned in the episode, I’m not sure why I included this story, as even I know there are sites much older in France. But here it is - https://ca.news.yahoo.com/old-bones-revealed-earliest-europeans-200133868.html
