    When it comes to cave paintings and people going “what do these mean?”, isn’t it possible people are looking way too deep into it? Think about it, outside of hunting and breeding, there wasn’t a whole lot to do. I like to think some cave guy just got bored, realized he could draw with rocks and just wanted to break the boredom with no deeper meaning lol. We think it was ritualistic, he thought “I drew a pretty wolf lol”

    I recall a documentary on Neanderthals that talked about the mortality rate for women giving birth was too dangerous for them to be sustainable. There was also evidence that the women folk could not give birth inside the cave, which greatly contributed to the death rate.

      ​@VDOTU5 I'm with you on this one. I recently learned why they arent digging up more of gobeckli tepe, some Egyptian archeological sites, etc. It is bc they are saving some for future generations to discover. So. Basically they are not learning everything we could right now bc they want to save some for future generations to dig up. Wtf dig it up already. Future generations will find new stuff or move on to new discoveries. It's so much bs

    While I realize that the Earth's Children (Clan of the Cave Bear) series by Jean Auel is historical fiction, she put a TON of research into her books which take place roughly 30000 years ago around the time the Neanderthals started to disappear. She has some fascinating theories and explanations for many of the unsolved prehistoric mysteries in this video.
