BIG news for paleoanthropology from three ?? sites thanks to U-Th dating of carbonate crusts surrounding cave art #NeanderthalArt
Reliable samples showed a minimum age of 64.8ka or older for the art at each site, predating modern humans by 20ka! #NeanderthalArt
Deliberately placed hand stencils “constitute symbolic activity by definition.” Goodbye impossible coincidence argument! #NeanderthalArt
