The oldest (questionable) evidence of dog domestication is 27,000 years old at Predmosti. The oldest REAL evidence of dogs is baeely 10,000 tears old. Neanderthals are present in Europe as late as 24,000 ybp.

Not just hunting; dogs allowed the elderly, infirm and younger children to safely stay home. They warn against predators and other humans and thus prevent ambush-type attacks, and can participate in a fight. AMHs were very good at long-distance fighting, so as long as they were warned, they were in pretty good shape.eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-28509267655916270552015-03-26T02:57:49.644+02:002015-03-26T02:57:49.644+02:00@eurologist

But mostly it is a cheap trick! they love it and buy and sell it to each other , because takes millions of years to do what water can do in minutes. and they like to play with time.Alashirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726181228173268004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-5888378376308633152015-03-21T19:18:54.524+02:002015-03-21T19:18:54.524+02:00Today the WSJ has an article attributing their dem...Today the WSJ has an article attributing their demise to humans with dogs, a supposedly much better hunting team.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-23300108368213292782015-03-21T10:51:18.898+02:002015-03-21T10:51:18.898+02:00Grey,

By ~40kya temperatures had just briefly recovered (still ~4C below Holocene averages) when (partially due to the eruption) they dipped down, again. These pretty wild fluctuations mean ever-changing biotopes and reduced local diversity and food availability - all of which requires great adaptability, but even in the best scenario will lead to a drastically reduced population size. Also, modern humans were very good at cold-steppe hunting - Neanderthals not so much.eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-8806839403340051622015-03-20T21:20:19.787+02:002015-03-20T21:20:19.787+02:00cooling would hurt neanderthals?
i'd have tho...cooling would hurt neanderthals?<br /><br />i'd have thought the opposite - a sudden cooling would more likely lead to a resurgence.Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398462488549380796noreply@blogger.com
