Incredible discovery of the human world 'superman' extinct

After studies show that the ancient Neanderthals were even more straight and more muscular than modern humans Homo sapiens ; know how to knit, weave tens of thousands of years before us; great adaptations like the "mermaids" in coastal areas ., they continue to amaze us with evidence of leather manufacturing skills.

The team, led by Dr. Naomi Martisius from the Department of Anthropology, University of California at Davis (USA), has discovered strange animal skeletal tools at two sites belonging to the Neolithic age in France. The Paleolithic period lasted from about 2.5 million years to 10,000 years ago, when a new age called the "middle stone age" with the advent of agriculture began.

These settlements were identified as belonging to the Neanderthals, a species of the genus He extinct from 30,000 to 50,000 years ago, so that our modern Homo sapiens became the dominant species.

By analyzing a number of other specimens in the cave, the scientists were stunned with the purpose of the strange bone fragments: they were carefully selected from the ribs of the cows, carefully trimmed to become a sophisticated tools for making leather goods.

These devices, called "lissoirs" , are used to smooth and soften animal skins, increasing the water resistance of the material. An astonishing problem arose: with the age of the Neanderthals, our Homo sapiens lived in a very mundane world with rudimentary stone tools. Making elaborate leather like that looks fantastic.

According to the authors, the finding reinforces the new theory that this miraculous human being has a complete plan in the face of a specific task: they work hard to learn, create the right tool, test it. with materials . They're not as wild as we thought.

The research has just been published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports.

Recently, another team of researchers also published another shocking discovery: a bundle of 40,000-year-old neck yarns, evidence that Neanderthals knew how to weave ropes, baskets, nets, weave bags . long before us.
