About the tool thing, they could have asked me, I have been called a Neanderthal on more than one occasion.

Everyone was eating elephants, well actually mastodons and mammoths, did they really think that early Britons were different?

I mean there have been finds of mammoth and mastodons killed by early man all over north American and Europe. What I want to know is just how did they build a bar be que pit big enough to cook the things on? I mean just to cook a side of beef over a pit takes a 8ft by 6ft pit with lots of wood and then you have to turn the spit...

In all seriousness though, this is really interesting. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact there was a third species of human around at the same time as neanderthals and modern man.

Very interesting!
It's amazing to me that they could take down something so large.

I enjoy these articles you post, Chatte.
Besides interesting, they're a reminder to me just how trivial my daily "struggles" may be.

I'm glad people enjoy them. I love the study of man, and knowing where we came from and how we got to where we are is fascinating info for me.

Neanderthal babes had WAYYYYY more spankable booooootayyyyyyyyys and nice BIG HEALTHY THIGHS and WONDERFUL eyebrows, AND they were very metaphysically "in tune".

Here's hoping the dna strands come BACK and recreate a FULY FLEDGED Neanderthal Woman, because I wanna MARRY HER!

Hey NBA, don't forget about Cro-Magnon women; I hear they were an awesome strand, or what scholars now call Anatomically Modern Humans or Early Modern Humans. That is, unless you can locate a Yeti-Sasquatch female hiding away somewhere in a remote cave in the mountains. Chances are she could beat the shite out of any man, too. I never believed Neanderthals went extinct 30,000 years ago and that there was interbreeding going on. Voilà http://www.history.com/videos/cro-magnon-meets-neanderthal

I am reminded of what I once heard an astrologer-teacher remark during his lecture. He couldn't figure out why he was having such difficulty trying to get in touch with his Inner Feminine Self over the years, until he realized one day that being an Aries, his Inner Female was actually a Cave Woman.

And they probably had arguments about which was "authentic" barbeque too.

In recent years a lot has come out about neanderthal man and cro magnon man, and there is evidence that among other things, they interbred, and that they also weren't that much less advanced then homo sapien (us). The old myths of the big forehead brute has been out to rest, Neanderthal had many attributes of modern man (and they were definitely way more advanced than homo tea partyalis).

Besides climate change, one of the more interesting theories is that the mastodons and mammoths were driven to extinction by our ancestors, that it may have been one of the first examples of extinction caused by human beings.

There has been speculation that a cosmic impact may have had something to do with the extinction of the larger mammals. Some have said a comet struck the ice sheets of North America, wiping out the Clovis Culture at around the same time. While the evidence is contested, it's too coincidental that both populations disappeared in the same slice of time.

The event is called the Younger Dryas, and it's entirely possible that the repercussions may have driven mankind to begin agriculture and civilization rather than hunting and gathering.Granted, this event occurred more than ten millennia after the last vestiges of the Neanderthal have been found, but I wouldn't be surprised if someday, an archaeologist finds evidence they lived past than 29,000 BCE.

At least at some points it was probably more like 4 or 5 species world wide
H. neandertalis
H. erectus
H. denisova
H. sapiens
H. floresienis

plus possible isolated populations of ergaster and heidelbergensis.
