Evidence suggests Neanderthals took to boats before modern humans

Interesting stuff Olden. The more we search, the more we learn and realize our initial ideas were mistaken. If we could keep an open mind, we just might learn some of this stuff faster or sooner.

Fire,tools,jewelry,art,customs, the list goes on and on, Neanderthals had already figured out these things long before humans showed up on the scene, I can imagine they figured out the concept of boats too.

Hey Dan, Interesting read. The Neanderthals knew a lot more than the people I watch on survivalist shows. Thanks for the links.

Good read olden , I always enjoy this . I truly believe we are just starting to scratch the surface.

Hey Tam,
To me, it also adds credence to the theory of the preclovis people settling the Americas by coast hugging boats..

That was lovely !!! I truly enjoyed that little clip .My brother was a big surfer and he was the one that told me about a group living in Malibu canyon . So illegal to walk back in there . But of coured us teens had a rope on a tree to swing into the small river . Didn’t scatter until the police helicopters
came . Now if I only knew to look for artifacts oh it kills me .
What a beautiful place to live .

Hey Dan, That short video is good. I love carbon dating and DNA research. If we know a lot then we still have 99.999% to learn.
