below I linked to a Univ Penn museum lecture about Neanderthal burials.
More about the controversy HERE.
smithsonian article HERE
and in a related item, for Jean Auel fans, lots of links.
I enjoyed the first one, but got bored in the second and haven't read the rest. The people seemed to think like modern American folks think they should think (indeed, like modern upper class American feminists think the heroine should think), and after living for years with non Western Europeans, it just didn't ring true.
As someone once said: The past is another country...but Auel's lands were but her people weren't....
