One of the services I provide, as I see it, is to encapsulate longer articles for the benefit of my readership. Time is precious, after all, and if you are like most people you see many articles that look interesting, but taking the time to read them all becomes problematic. I, however, when I’m on the clock, as it were, as a part of my job, will read certain articles concerning subjects relatable to those covered here and on our sister websites, vampires.com, darkness.com, and zombies.org, and then provide succinct summaries of them for you, giving you all the gist of the material in smaller, easier to swallow bites, saving you that precious time we spoke of. You are welcome.
Per the linked-to article below (see “source”): The current accepted theory is that the Neanderthals went extinct approximately 40,000 years ago. That makes it rather significant that Neanderthal bone fragments have been recovered at the Châtelperronian archaeological site in Grotte du Renne, France dating to that exact time. In other words, they’ve discovered the remains of some of the last Neanderthals to ever live. Maybe. Some scientists say that stone tools found at the site are too complex to have been made or wielded by Neanderthals. The bones, however, do not lie. Biomolecular and chronological analysis of proteins in the fossils confirm they did belong to Neanderthals. An alternate theory, then, is that those Neanderthals were living with modern humans at the site. Living with, working alongside, fighting, and mating. Either that, or Neanderthals were smarter than we give them credit for.
