Hunting With Neanderthals - Unearthing Historical New Discoveries

Archeological Finds Unearth Remarkable Evidence of Neanderthal Hunters, Evidence shows that over 300,000 years ago, Schöningen hunters used various high-quality hunting tools such as throwing sticks, javelins, and thrusting spears in combination. Human hunting is a fascinating problem, and the fact that all of these features appeared before Homo erectus evolved suggests that hunting may have been a selective force for throwing ability. The emergence of weaponry - technology designed to dispatch prey - marks a critical but poorly understood milestone in human evolution. It is an important behavioral marker that reflects evolutionary changes in ecology, cognition, language, and social behavior. While the earliest spears were often thought to be hand-held and thus short-ranged, the subsequent appearance of long distance spears marked a significant development. Long range Projectiles are regarded as an improvement over thrusting spears, and some believe they originated with our species during th
