Paleolithic

Middle Paleolithic leading into the Upper Paleolithic. - Denny 11.13.05

Trinkaus, et al

The argument for tool culture from adaptionist perspective was the result of Trinkaus, et al. It isn't necessarily correct Gautam ^Discuss 19:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Shanidar 1 picture

That picture looks really strange. I started to write, "What's that thing on the top of the head in the picture of the 'reconstruction of the head of the Shanidar 1 fossil?'" But I did a Google image search, and found a better picture of the same reconstruction, which answered my question.

Unfortunately, that one doesn't seem to be labeled for reuse. Still, it seems like we ought to be able to find a better picture, which doesn't look like he's got a second, smaller, semi-bald head sticking up out of the top of his head. How about this one?

You've answered your own questions. We cannot use unfree images when we have free equivalents. FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Say what?

Surely Wikipedia articles should be accessible to the non-specialist? Given this, what does the sentence, "Some assemblages, namely those from Pech de l’Aze, are exceptionally small Levallois and other prepared core types, causing some researchers to suggest that these flakes take advantage of greater grip strength possessed by Neanderthal physiology", actually mean?

dawn

not seeing any support for the early date of 600,000 BP given in box (including Reference 1, which doesn't appear to have anything to do with the early dating) and at bottom of page. text says 160,000 BP. does anyone have a citation supporting 600,000?

Unreferenced material

There is a bit in the Characteristics section that is not only unreferenced but also appears to be OR: It may be an example of acculturation of modern humans by Neanderthals because the culture after 130,000 years reached the Levant from Europe (the first Mousterian industry appears there 200,000 BP) and the modern Qafzeh type humans appear in the Levant another 100,000 years later.
