Neanderthals Fashioned 'Jewelry' Out of Animal Teeth and Shells

  Seems a bit condescending to put Jewelry in quotes when the study the article talks about is specifically saying that Neanderthals did create jewelry.

    Yes. I'm not sure the author understood the subject. There is plenty of evidence that Neanderthals made and wore jewelry. The study was about Châtelperronian industry in particular not jewelry in general.

  Ancient bling. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Except there weren't any animal rights activists crying out for a boycott.

      I don't think we can really blame the Neanderthals for that. Killing animals was likely viewed differently due to its necessity then. Plus, a lot of the protests now are due to industrial practices and sustainability issues that didn't exist then.
