What Are These Piles Of Mammoth Bones?

- We are going to take a look at the oldest Mammoth Bone shelter, created around 44,000 by Neanderthals.
This would be the oldest use of mammoth bones as building material, and this would mean that Neanderthals were the very first to create these and not Homo sapiens, us modern humans. As the oldest mammoth bone shelters discovered by archaeologists that were created by Homo sapiens date to 25,000 years ago.

Early Inuit of the Thule culture built tent frames from the bones of Bowhead whales so it is easy to believe that Neanderthals also used large bones.
Your comparing inuits to neanderthals?
@@kingjellybean9795 And in this context why not? Similar resource and shelter issues.
@@kingjellybean9795 only in choice of building materials available - bones of large mammals.
Your "blabbing" is some of the best bits because it makes you relatable at least for me that is. I love that Neanderthal is so much more complex than has previously been given credit for. And who's to say they didn't actually teach Homo Sapiens the mammoth bones building structure, am I right?
All the art shows just human or Neanderthal hunting groups. I would be shocked if the hunters did not bring wolfs along, after all humans still use dogs for hunting be it police hunting suspects to hunting things like bear and duck... We know some wolfs traveled with humans, so why wouldn't they have mixed hunting parties... Wolfs would also give humans safety from other predators along with could be used like barking getting Mammoths to face them letting human hunters come from side/back more safely..
Oh snap! You know, I actually minored in anthropology in undergrad (I'm a practicing geologist in real life). But where I grew up in the southwest United States our focus was more on mesoamerica and the southwest US. I literally thought mammoth bone shelters were a thing of dystopian scifi exclusively. Live and learn well into my 40's! Thanks for the videos!
Science changes, that's why it's science
Great video! I would not be surprised if wood and animal skins were used to provide a more substantial shelter. After 44,000 years, only bones and stones would remain.
Makes sense when you think about it. If they could make stone tools, they were smart enough to watch a bird build a nest and think 'ooh good idea! Let's try it with this garbage.' I expect it became a frame that they would have filled with grasses and foliage.
I love these videos and the way you present them Kayleigh. Don't apologize for doing the necessary research to put out a scientifically accurate documentary!
Agreed. Everyone should be doing research and referencing. It's a shame that collectively, our attention spans are so low that we find it difficult to concentrate on these things. In fact it boils my blood. People should LEARN.
our Neanderthal ancestors were smart
It's interesting. In junior college, we were introduced to Neanderthal as _H. sapiens neanderthalensis._ Later, as I worked on my degree, the academic fashion shifted to insisting that Neanderthal was its own species. And it did seem to be a mainly a matter of academic fashion rather than a matter of sound biological reasoning. Then it was discovered that our own ancestors had apparently partied with Neanderthals, at least so says the DNA. Which arguably suggests that the original designation as a subspecies still makes sense. So, now, we see that in the very same region where circular mammoth bone structures are known from the Upper Paleolithic, presumably H.s.s. sites, we now see earlier _Terminal Middle Paleolithic_ Neanderthals using the same tactic for constructing whatever they were constructing. AND in this same general region (Western Asia and Eastern Europe) Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, and Denisovans also shared DNA. My personal feeling is that there should be no surprise. Neanderthals were people, with the ability to plan and create, just as their surviving descendants (we) have.
This is the oldest ''KNOWN'' use of mammoth bones for building. It is possible that such was done earlier and not yet discovered.
It's also possible that a teapot is orbiting jupiter right now, but untill we don't get proof of it..
Why don't you do a video of some of the UNKNOWN mammoth shelters, mansplainer
@@Mark_GL My statement is completely correct. I said 'known'. Such constructions tend no to stand the test of time.
For tea pots orbiting Jupiter- On what we know we can say it is improbable.
@@Mark_GLwhy have you discovered one, and how do you know it's the first one?
@@gnostic268ok. Explain how this is definitely the first one. Clown.
With your help I never stop learning . Thank You Kayleigh !
I've visited a similar archeological site in eastern central Ukraine. It was a seasonal mammoth or mastodon hunting camp site created by Homo sapiens and used for thousands of years. The archeologists didn't dig down so far. It would be interesting to find out if anything is buried at greater depth.
There is so much interesting prehistory in that area of Europe. I hope we discover a lot more!
Tsk-Tsk; we should all be ashamed for thinking Eurocentric thoughts.
I think using these particular bones as a structure base makes sense especially in very cold climatic conditions. It's difficult to pound tent stakes into permafrost. I think those bones, the skulls and pelvic girdles, would have been heavy enough to be the base for some bent wood and hides above and keep the whole thing from getting blown away.
i was surprised that they threw away the ribs because i imagined those would make better supports for a structure, like branches; but if they were picking the heaviest bones to support the base of a structure and keep sides of tents from flapping in the wind, it makes perfect sense.
Once a hide dries, it becomes very hard and stiff. So all they needed was a frame to drape it over. A wooly mammoth hide harvested in the winter would have had really good insulating properties, assuming they shed in the summer like other mammals. They probably laid the hide over a frame, let it freeze to get stiff, then let it dry over time. Additional hides stacked on top would have made a very warm shelter. Large bones may have been preferred so the hides could be tied down and prevent the wind from blowing them away.
@Kayleigh, I think that the drawing of the way the bones are arranged shows a clear pattern of choosing which bones to use and where they were placed. I also think that the bones could easily support a lean-to type shenter. It would be easy to do with a couple mammoth hides and some small logs. I used to make them when I went camping in the back country miles away from trails and roads. I just took a roll of plastic and some rope. They work pretty well when you know how to set them up so the wind does not blow straight into them. Having them on the inside of a circular enclosure would make a nice setup for a long term shelter. I wonder if the placement of the hearths is such that some or all of them could be at the front of a shelter(s)?
Definitely an interesting site. I think that some of the opinions about wha that site was are colored by biases against other humans having enough intelligence to do this sort of thinking and planning. However, the method by which they made their tools proves that false. Thanks for this video. I am looking forward to that neanderthal video...
So glad I found your site.You've enlightened my view of Neanderthals. I remember first seeing drawings of Mammoth bone shelters of modern man.Oviously, ancient man hunting megafauna on the open tundra had to build shelters from available materials.
Indeed, go Kayleigh! Haven't been watching enough lately but I'm going to change that!
Hey there, a tiny additional piece of information: Neanderthals never developed bows and arrows, their tool kits indicate that they created many cutting and working tools, but not small arrow heads. They instead exclusively used thrusting or throwing spears and not bows and arrows, or even atlatls and darts.
Our understanding of Neanderthals have come a long way from yesteryear, from being knuckle draggers, to being somewhat sophisticated.
Our busy lives sometimes do not let us do too much research ourselves into these things. So many of us really appreciate the effort you put in Kayleigh. And who doesn't enjoy a good blab.
Well put. I agree.
We were and are very sophisticated. The race of modern humans are just more social. In my uneducated opinion that is the only difference between Neanderthals and moderns.
Dare we call this (tongue in cheek) Bone Henge?
Seriously, I view Neanderthals using large bones from mammoths as building material as logical. The more we look and find out about this group, we are amazed. And they put the stereotype Victorian image to shame yet again. Superb!
Excellent presentation!
Cheers!
Amazing that they could find so much in such a small space. 13,000 sq ft. is between 1/4 and 1/3 acre. About the size of a suburban lot.
I like this video. What keeps me coming back to your videos is the palatable passion you exude while you share your knowledge with us. I can't speak of the disgraceful teachings I had to unlearn from school during the 1970's till I graduated in 1982. I learned more from Fred Flintstone than teachers. Please keep up the great service you provide. G
I use to work at The American Museum of Natural History 🗽 NYC. I used to see the diorama of stone age Sapiens around their shelter of mammoth tusks. The fact that Neanderthals did that too is no surprise. Neanderthals were running around and hunting mammoths long before our ancestors showed up in Northern Eurasia. It just makes sense when there's no rock shelter or caves about. A good simple and solid solution that doesn't need genius to figure out.
You had the dream job! 😃
Yes & No. I worked in the gift shops, so annoying school groups & dump tourist.@@barrywalser2384
You're always cutting edge Kayleigh.
I liked your graphics showing the napping process. I would like to see more of that.
Archeologists that discount the shelter theory need to think less like a scientist and more like a hunter. 1. To kill a mammoth/rhinoceros would take organization and planning. 2. Even today a hunter who's killed a deer unless he has an ATV has to work to bring the carcass to where it can be butchered. Larger animals such as elk are cut up on site and the meat portions packed out. 3. I submit it's impossible to move a mammoth head back to a camp. The weight would be approximately 400 kilograms or 800 pounds. And this head is not like a log but irregular in shape making it difficult at best to carry any distance. So you strip it of meat and later return to bring it to camp, even then it weighs 200 pounds and the tusks 150 pounds combined. Why would you bring either to a camp with so much effort unless you were going to use them. At this point with no flesh on the skull why would you put it in a circle. For religious reasons, don't buy it. Bones pushed away from eating, perhaps but not tusks and skulls. I have no doubt Neanderthals would have no problem eating maggots that would appear but the smell would be overwhelming and as any hunter will tell you, you rely on your eyes, ears AND smell to detect prey and enemies. 4. The circular structure could also have served as a defensive structure against animals and rival groups, since the location near the river would necessarily attract both.
Besides being very intelligent, you are very articulate Kayleigh. I love this material and it is very refreshing compared to my usual forensic work.
it make logical and practical sense to me to use whats around you. it would take a lot of effort to chop a tree down not to mension calories. They were eating the mamoths anyway so what would be the point of throwing away perfectly good building materials. We know that whey would take the time to extract marrow bone. So we know they were very resourceful. so makes perfect sense to me
I think, Kayleigh, you are very much on the right track. Please, keep up the good work. 😊
Great video, ❤ Yes, indeed.
I'm in the Neanderthals were doing it and more before us camp. For alot of reasons and
It does not surprise me and it explains alot ,it does surprise me mainstream is not trying to refute this knowledge more as usualy seems to be the case, when new info conflicts with the usual belief narritives accepted and even taught.
Which makes your sharing of the knowledge and taking time to make videos so very much more important for us all .
Thank you for all you do Kayliegh . 💋
I think that like most of our pre sedentary ancestors, they used what they had to hand to build what they needed. Bones got recycled, hides became dwelling covers as well as clothing, blankets, etc. The Neanderthal were really good at this, as were other upright walking beings defined as homo whatever. I'm quite proud to acknowledge them as my distant ancestors, along with everyone else that walked the road to get to me.
The Neanderthals had expensive homes...!!!
Today, the amount of money mammoth tusks bring...well, Beverly Hills area comes to mind as a competitive market😊🤣🤣🤣
Great recording Kayleigh 😎👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
❤can't wait ❤Kayleigh ❤ I'm bringing the rum arrrr. 🌷🌷
Hello Glitzy Mitzy! I will see you in the chat.
Kayleigh, great video. You continue to amaze me with new info on how smart Neanderthals actually were. As far as I know, you are the only one doing this, at least in an easy to understand and entertaining way. Thanks so much for your Neanderthal videos in particular, as well as all of your other videos on different topics.
I have the memory of watching a BBC documentary decades ago where they walked us through the entire history of the human race, as much as was known at that time. One 'scene' that stuck i my head all these years was where the programme covered the deep ice age and the people survived by living in huts made from mammoth tusks and burned bone for heat. I have never seen the programme again and it was so far back that it may not even exist as a recording - a great shame as it was a well made attempt to cover a massive swathe of time.
Never ceases to amaze me about the ingenuity of people to use available materials for everyday shelter and survival. Indigenous people living on the channel islands off of the California coast were found to be using whale bones in a similar fashion for shelter.
Howdy Kayleigh, as always an interesting video. I had heard of mammoth bones used in shelters and not surprised Neanderthals were among the first to do so. Historically we haven’t given them much credit for their abilities and underestimated their intelligence.
I would have thought big mammoth bones would be quite sturdy for a base of a structure of like mammoth hides or something similar.
Hi Kayleigh. I recently discovered your channel and I'm excited to watch all of your videos. This is very interesting to me. Thank you again and love from Texas ❤
Wonderful video! Great work!
Thanks Kayleigh! Always great and interesting subjects! Good one❤
This is so amazing. Thank you for your research. Stay curious
The ingenuity of Neanderthals is awe inspiring constantly changing our perception of them! Also looking forward to the forthcoming Neanderthals video
Excellent talk, as always!
It could be just me, but it seems like a bone structure like that might not be terribly simple or easy to transport. And when you consider that the prey likely migrated and thus the bones were not constantly available, this may indicate more of a long term habitation... Especially if there were a wooden structure inside. Winters on the steppes now are difficult, but back then, they'd be much worse.
They left it to come back probably, not something they traveled with
I think that this is pretty cool information !! Makes total sense for them to make use of the whole animal . And shows them to be a lot more inventive than their credited to be. Have a great day , Kayleigh 🌷
It was said of Native Americans that they "used every part of the buffalo but the bellow." Hunter-gatherer cultures are famous for wasting nothing. I see no reason why Neanderthals should have been any different from Sapiens in that respect.
@@itsapittieExactly
Neanderthal 1
What are we going to do with all these mammoth bones?
Neanderthal 2
Let’s build a fort for the kids ! 😂😂
And here we are 😂
Bones were left over from eating the flesh.
Neanderthals were hunter gatherers whose primary source of food was the largest game animal available. They followed the herds and spread out over a wide area sometimes having to move quickly and sometimes having an opportunity to stay longer. Sometimes having to take their habitat with them or inhabiting known caves many times over as they moved seasonally across the land. They also dominated the northern climate and glacial perimeter for thousand of years. I would be shocked if they weren't the first to use Mammoth bones to build shelters or to use Mammoth bones as weapons. I presume that Mammoths were similar to elephants in their behavior. Elephants gather in herds and generally follow the senior female leader. She knows more and has been there done that. Males are generally solitary or associate in small male groups. If you are going to hunt Mammoths, you are going to hunt the easiest target that would still provide sufficient food to meet your needs. Thus the smaller female would be the primary available target. Regardless of what you might think of Neanderthals, they were intelligent hominids who dominated Europe and Western Asia for hundreds of thousands of years.
As someone who is supposedly 4.2% Neanderthal, any evidence of intelligence, artfulness, etc. is extremely satisfying.
Great take! So nice to hear a reasoned assessment instead of 'ALIENS!'
Thank you for presenting reality.
9:50 Wonder whether mammoth herds were female and juvenile like modern African elephant herds. Male African elephants are kicked out of the herd when they reach the equivilant of teenage years. Male elephants are loners, but through some strange influence over the behaviour of the discarded younger males seem to prevent them from turning into teenage delinquints. Adult males are effectively "selected" to mate by the herd leader when they are required. If this was the case, the Neanderthals were attacking herds (easier to spot) rather than lone individuals (possibly packed with testosterone in a state of musthe and much more dangerous). This may account of the gender selection of the bones.
You are exactly right and paleontologists found that to be true at the Mammoth site in South Dakota.
Makes sense to me
Excellent, as usual. Thank you.
good evening Kayleigh and thank you for the video
It certainly doesn't surprise me that they would build with them first. They've always been an industrious people. The structure looks to me like a kind of fence or wall that doubles as a wind break. Something to protect the whole tribe or group from wind and stray animals or people. I would imagine they would have smaller wood structures that were more temporary and individual. Possibly more season based. though with things of that nature very little is left behind so all we can do is speculate on them. There does seem to be just enough spacing between hearths to fit individual open faced structures, which would be ideal in that setting.
I really enjoy these shorter pieces. I also would rather wait a bit for you to do a good job on your documentary. Keep at it! Thanks.
I love your channel Kayleigh 😊 Thank you for the insights
There are likely hundreds of these mammoth bone sites around the world - the problem is that they are buried so deep. Hopefully, with modern equipment such as GPR, many more will be found. There are probably many sites under water in the Black Sea, Baltic Sea and North Sea - Doggerland.
This is an amazing find! Thank you!
Very interesting video! I can’t wait to watch your documentary!
Yet another excellent presentation
Always good to hear more about our distant relatives.
Just recently sub'd you. Your quirky presentation is so fresh that my interest in your channel has revived my interest in archeology. Honestly, it beats some of the bland and boring channels that I'm watching at the moment. Actually, I'm watching more of your channel then anything else. Thanks heaps👍🙂
Binging History with Kayleigh! Now want to find out more about Neanderthals. Thanks for your work and presenting the info in an interesting way.
Neanderthal were more creative than most people know, intelligent!
You are our 'cheat code'.
Thank you!
I love your videos... Keep doing what you're doing ❤️... Thank you for your effort and work ethic.
Best wishes with projects. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful presentation! Keep up the marvelous work.
Nice to know what that 2% of my ancestors were up to. Nice use of graphics in this video too.
Very interesting video. Given the relative paucity of caves in Europe habitable by humans (and free of bears and other potential renters) it makes sense to see that Neanderthals used the material at hand to make their own simple shelters (or were they homes?). As for your video on Neanderthals, we are patient subscribers who prefer quality over speed. Do it right rather than do it now.
One possible other interpretation on the mammoth hunt selection: could it be that this says more about mammoth ecology? I know that we see a big difference in how non-human related mammoth remains are found, with an overabundance of male remains. Maybe taken together, this implies that herds were female adults and juveniles, and humans mostly hunted around the edge of a herd, being less likely to find a lone mammoth, with those ages reflecting which were more likely to get separated?
You are likely right. Either were the most hunted animals more vulnerable due to habits or they hunted mainly females of certain ages because they were generally less dangerous to hunt.
We don't really know how these animals acted, we tend to guess it is similar to elephants but that is just a guess. While writing did exist in places before the last mammoth died out (when the great pyramid was built a few were still around in Siberia) no account have ever been found which isn't that strange since writing basically existed in the middle east and probably India when they died out, the only possible writing in an area at least a little close would be the Danube script which we aren't sure is writing (unless Indus script who probably is writing, the Danube script seems to probably not be, but we could be wrong).
So we have no clue but it is likely people hunted the easiest prey since hunting mammoth must have been risky. They might have spared the youngest ones for them to grow up if they thought that far but that is about it, if they caught a lot of certain ages and a certain sex that must mean they were easier to hunt.
I suspect that nutrition seasonality played an important role in age of animals hunted each season. In the spring and early summer adult animals would have been quite lean from a long harsh winter, but nursing young would have had excellent baby fat full of ketone bodies to fuel their high rate of growth from milk. This fat was essential to hunt. Lean meat is not healthy w/o nearly the same amount of fat eaten, and could weaken individuals, they had to find fat in the spring likely. Later in the summer, adults would be putting on fat toward getting ready to make it through the winter, and then, the adults would have been targeted likely. Also, it would be likely that people would have been VERY focused on risk reduction of all types, and behaviors would have been adapted toward the safest habitual hunting methods. So many artistic depictions of past hunting practices show excessively risky methods (if it bleeds, it leads) for the depictions, but scavenging must have been opportunistic, and stealing from other predator kills would probably been common, perhaps using great knowledge of plant toxins to put out poi bait to sicken competitors for easier stealing. Poison bait could have been very protective if dire wolves were following a hide sled of meat being dragged back to camp. Just throw out a ball of meat with Wolf bane toxin in it for them to fight over. These people would have had heavy pressure toward passing such safety yielding knowledge as oral teachings essential for day to day safety to keep as many of the band members as functional as possible. Depictions of band members charging wildly into close contact with bull mastodons (or cave bears) , probably give far too simplistic impressions of their mental abilities for being highly skilled at usually reducing many risks in their day to day practices IMHO. I think we greatly underestimate their capabilities. And, poisoning their stone spear points would have likely been very much a part of their tool kits.
@@raykinney9907 It is kinda hard to figure out if they used poison dipped spears or bows since that is not something you find in the archaeological record.
Heck, we are pretty sure the early bows didn't have flint arrowheads so we don't even know when people started to use bows.
We do know that Danes used bows 11 000 years ago since we found a bow dated to 9000 BCE but they could have been in use a lot longer without us finding one or having one depicted in a cave painting we can date.
I doubt they would poison anything they planned to eat but besides that, we can only guess.
And you are probably right about nutrition playing a role as well. They were likely hunting to get as much food as possible with as little risk as possible (which still would have been unacceptable to us today but you got to eat).
But in the end we can only notice what people at certain sites were eating, not why and very often not even how they hunted them.
Cave paintings and certain archaeological finds can give us some clues, we do know they sometimes got mammoths to run off cliffs or into constructed traps from finds but we don't know how common that was or how often they hunted like in the paintings.
The cave paintings could signify an average hunt but they could also depict a specifically hard hunt or one extra risky due to desperation, we just don't know.
We also get some clues from human skeletons. Neanderthals seems to get skeleton injuries pretty often which probably were hunting accidents but even that is not 100% certain, maybe they climbed a lot or something (which is far less likely but not impossible).
Our knowledge of the people from this early time is growing but we lack far more then we know and we might be wrong about many of our guesses.
So it is hard to be really certain about much, we just have to make as educated guesses as we can.
Alan J. Osborn Journal of Ethnobiology 36(4): 908-929 2016
is a place I started to understand about the emerging science of toxin analysis and assessment for early hunting weapon points. This led to more recent lab techniques and to research in France and Italy.@@loke6664
Yes, and there is emerging lab work technology to find evidence commonly remaining on old points.@@loke6664
We likely greatly underestimate their capabilities. We really know so little about their skill levels for figuring out lots of angles of risk reduction, in order to maintain as many band members continuing to remain as functional contributors. Speculations about their actual mentality probably only reflect our own mental shortfalls usually. More evidence will always help clarify the complexity of their adaptations toward survival. Until that evidence shows up we will likely greatly under estimate.
Thanks for giving dimensions in Imperial as well as Metric Kayleigh 👍🏻
Looking forward to the Neanderthal video. It would be great to see a balanced analysis of the probable causes of their extinction.
Cool. I didn't know that. Good luck with the documentary.
Very cool ❤❤
One more powerful demonstration that our way to study our more or less far past is good and accurate, therefore put one more solid bricks in the vast knowledge of the Evolution of the hominines species.
Good one Kaylz!!!
Mammoths. Haa, that brings back the good old days. We went hunting, caught the mammoth, dragged that thing back to camp. In pieces, because that bitch was pretty big, you know. And there the women made beautiful clothes from the skin for us and all those little Tonnys running around, and we made useful tools from the bones. And we all had a BBQ party while trying out our latest version of beer. How I miss those simple days, really. ;-)
Great vid again, Lady K 👍
👋🌷oet Grun', T.
Great video, thanks. The next stage would be to ascertain if Homo Erectus had purpose-built structures.
Thanks for another educational video, can't wait for your Neanderthal documentary.
Excellent Vid! Love this !
I would think it obvious they setup a protective barrier using the mammoth bones interlinkingly. The same way thorn plants are used as fences about villages in the past and still.
Maybe, they were specifically selecting animals of the same age and sex, because they'd be a similar size. Like, the way you'd select similar sized trees for a log structure?
If they regularly built these in certain places that they returned to seasonally, it makes sense that there'd be that level of planning involved.
A good video, Kayleigh.
Moving house so just catching up. Thank you for the thought provoking new discoveries about Neanderthal people. Could it be that the bones selected out for the circular structure were taken from out-of-the ordinary hunts. That could be anything from a hunt where no one was injured to one where someone was killed, or one undertaken the day after a meteor shower or a fortunate lightning strike. Things like that. I'd guess that Neanderthal people were just as interested in discerning the patterns of their world as we are.
im going with Fence/WindScreen/HuntingBlind on higher ground having something to "look over the top of" would be a big advantage. Great
Stuff Keep It Comming!!!
I’m excited for Neanderthals building 💯
In relative terms, significant archaeological finds from that long ago are extremely rare. It's possible that mammoth bone structures went back thousands or even tens of thousands of years earlier and we haven't -- and perhaps never will -- find evidence of it. Nevertheless, it's intriguing to find something that pushes our knowledge of our ancestors further into the past.
I've always heard that Neanderthals had at least the same brain size as modern humans, so why couldn't they have pioneered building methods?
More videos. The topic is very interesting.
The circular dwelling was most likely the first factory.
Last week on my weekend gaming meet-up with a friend, we got to talking about "history of dogs/wolfs with humans." She suggested that having the dogs/wolfs running around distracting Mammoths must of been a good tool and made the group more better then groups of just humans or just wolfs...
Always nice to see a friendly face Kayleigh....😉🤗
I fully support the shelter theory and I wouldn't be surprised, if they would stumble across another one! 😎🤞🏻
I'd love for people to find something in my old country of Sweden, something that would put everything on its head, throw everything out the window....in the style of WTF!? 😳😲🤯🤨🤔
Nice to see, thank you.
It might be of interest to you. Big game hunters have found Sasquatch Huts. Sapling trees are bent to form a domed hut shape. Vines are used to tye them together. Then bark is torn off trees, in sections, to make walls and a roof. These are fairly standard for a family of sasquatch. New huts are made nightly as they travel.
It sounds like a production center.
Like a proto-factory. Maybe an assembly line.
So much changes, yet so much remains the same. It feels really cool, to think about how our prehistoric ancestors were thinking in many ways, so similar, to how we still think, and organize our production, and work, today. It makes the ancient past feel not so far away.
In the program Naked and Afraid had place a team of men and women in a location in Africa. The site they chose required this group of individuals to build a circular structure very similar to the topic with torn bushes keep the lions out.
They're the first that we know of. The area of the dig is getting into the range of Denisovan areas. Its very possible that they could have been first. There's just too many variables to consider before making such a definitive statement.
Thank You!
👍👍 interesting use of Bones.
