“Neanderthal tools” found at dig
Dozens of tools thought to have belonged to Neanderthals have been dug up at an archaeological site called Beedings in West Sussex.
Dr Matthew Pope, of University College London, said the discovery provided new insights into the life of a thriving community of hunters at the site.
“It’s exciting to think that there's a real possibility these were left by some of the last Neanderthal hunting groups to occupy northern Europe,” said Dr Pope.
“The impression they give is of a population in complete command of both landscape and natural raw materials with a flourishing technology – not a people on the edge of extinction.”
yeah I saw that. Makes you wonder why they died out (if in fact they did) if their tools were more advanced than our ancestors tools were. _________________ "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt" - Bertrand Russell
