I actually prefer the links to pastes so as to get the entire story including any pictures or graphs. How hard is it to 'click' a link?

This Venus figurine 35000-40000 BP looks pretty rough in comparison to the almost realistice skillful cave paintings.

Indeed. And, it's a shame that the paleolithic Europeans didn't paint realistic impressions of themeslves in the caves. Their portrayals of animals are amazing so it makes me think that they certainly could've painted themselves pretty well too. There are a few representations that I've seen before--but not many and those that survive are very stylistic...

how can we know they didnt? i think less than 1% is still not destroyed,and out of that we have found very few

we think we know so much when we know so little

They believed 10 years ago that the neaderthals were primitive species,now we know they probably had evolved language,cooked meat and different stuff from the nature,taste for music,art,and even religious belief..

No.

Ten years ago... 2011 - 10 = 2001... I'd just graduated from an English university then, and while reading for my anthropology degree I distinctly remember hearing all sorts of interesting ideas about the mental powers of the Neanderthals. HOWEVER, they were still using a set of tools that had altered very little in about 100,000 years. So, we can have some degree of 'humanity' in them, but not the FULL package, which includes innovation and development of more specialised tool kits.

You obviously have a really good internet connection. Spare a thought for those of us living in rural areas, whose coverage and reception are less than ideal.
