Artefacts hint at cultural exchange between Neanderthals and humans

Artifacts found suggest that when Homo sapiens arrived, they didn't just replace Neanderthals but instead adopted and adapted some of their tools and personal objects, hinting at a level of interaction beyond simple coexistence. This discovery challenges previous views that Neanderthals and humans were entirely separate cultures and highlights the complexity of human history during these early periods. Understanding these interactions offers fresh insights into the social dynamics and evolution of our ancestors.
