- livinginfear 5y agoDoes anyone know the source of the controversy? Are people concerned about the implications this may have on the current historical narrative of human development?
- gremloni 5y agoIt’s probably around whether the pendant aspect was a liberal interpretation. This still fits within the current hypothesis on human development.
- q1w2 5y agoIt's so hard to know if it was used as jewellery, or if it had some practical application as well, and was also decorated. We'll likely never know. I agree that calling it a pendant just because it has two holes, is a bit of a leap. For all we know, it was a fishing line (or net) float.
