New study finds that when AI imagines Neanderthals, it produces images from the 1980s and text from the 1960s. The gap between generative models and current scholarship is wider than you’d think. #Neanderthals #AI #Archaeolog

World’s oldest #yarn hints that #Neanderthals had basic math skills
By Kiona N. Smith
"A tiny scrap of thread stuck to the lower side of a stone flake offers a huge insight into Neanderthal life. The 6.2mm (0.24 inch) long bit of thread, spun from plant fibers, is the oldest example of the material ever found. According to uranium-series dating, the thread came from a layer of sediment between 52,000 and 41,000 years old at a Neanderthal site called Abri du Maras, in France."

A strong position but we always take notice of archaeologist João Zilhão, that #Neanderthals are just #Homosapiens really. Chris Stringer would not comply!
The Year in Neanderthals.
They drew with crayons, possibly fed on maggots and maybe even kissed us: Forty millenniums later, our ancient human cousins continued to make news.
More than a dozen high-profile scientific studies explored all sorts of aspects of their existence, from their love lives (they probably kissed Homo sapiens) to potential flaws in their red blood cells that may have hastened their decline.
