Neanderthals Making Yarn?! - TAS 98

What this episode covers

This is a crossover episode with Rachel Roden and Historical Yarns [https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/historicalyarns]! Recently, evidence of twisted cord was discovered on a Neanderthal archaeological site. While the exact use of this cord is unknown, we discuss our theories for how Neanderthals could have applied this technology to everyday life. Most importantly, this discovery contributes to breaking down the myth that Neanderthals were technologically inferior to their human contemporaries.
