Neanderthals made weapons from glue; ... Glue used to make tools and weapons. The discovery was made within a sedimentary layer dated to the period between 60,000 and 67,000 years ago.

Neanderthals have long been the subject of intense scientific debate. This is largely because we still lack clear answers to ...

Neanderthals used materials such as flint to make tools that they used as weapons, axes, and more. This specimen is from the Pinilla del Valle site, in the Lozoya Valley, near Madrid, Spain.

Even so, Golovanova and colleagues note in their paper that “the production technology of bone-tipped hunting weapons used by Neanderthals was in the nascent level in comparison to those used ...

Along with the wooden weapons, the site held over 1,500 flint tools and the butchered remains of over 50 horses. That collection of clues essentially provides “unequivocal evidence” that Neanderthals ...

We like to think of ourselves as special. We’re Homo sapiens, after all.But a new study of Ice Age Europe has found that our supposedly unique bone tools, a sign of higher intelligence, weren’t so ...

However, this widely-supported notion received a significant challenge with the discovery of around 1,200 bone tools at the Neanderthal site of Chagyrskaya in Altai, Siberia.

Since Neanderthal did not know how to process this raw material, they were limited to picking up bone fragments amongst butchery remains, using them uniquely as retouchers for shaping flint tools ...

Neanderthals may have used specialized hearths to make tar around 65,000 years ago, a new study finds. ... The sticky tar helped Neanderthals produce glue to make weapons and tools.

But when, now, you're dealing with Neanderthal tools and weapons, there's something very important. Each of these are impressive. They are very nice, like the craft of the Homo sapiens.

Neanderthals were likely right-handed, had powerful upper arms (the dominant side was between 25 percent and 60 percent more developed than the nondominant side).
