This is something I have understood for some time, but apparently isn't understood by National Geographic or any artists that produce images of our human ancestors and cousins for scientific publications. I have never seen a Neanderthal depicted in tailored clothes that wasn't a comic. It has been possible to think that NEA, Denisova, and H. erectus never had a tent, a hut, or a boat, from the archaeological evidence we haven't found, until now. Finding just two members from a timber framed structure built almost half a million years ago changes everything. These people had to have had those things, their lives would have depended on their parkas, pants, and boots in glacial winters, but we have never found any of those clothes, or tools to make them, like needles, older than ~50kya. If they could make timber framed houses, they could sure stitch up a pair of pants or a parka, so it is impossible they didn't have them. We haven't found any yet because clothes, wood, and string rot pretty quickly.

I have read Graham Hancock's books with interest.
I think his argument is fantasy fun, but has little relevance to modern history!
The Bible talks about unknown civilizations that flourished and then fell before Noah's great flood.
However, I don't think those civilizations have anything to do with us now!
Tabloid-style articles about the amazing high technology of ancient civilizations are simply gossip for commercial gain!
I believe that modern civilization is more advanced and superior than the ancient civilizations!
That's why I value the geniuse of the New World
By the way, Do you believe in the theory of biological evolution?
I believe that the beings Homo sapiens and erectus were born from fictional imagination!
I don't think human bones are strong enough to survive for millions of years!
The only evidence I saw of Homo sapiens and erectus was a few fossilized teeth and skulls!
I am amazed at the imagination of Westerners who can create genealogies of humans as they appeared two million years ago using a few bones that may be fossils of extinct monkeys and gorillas!
Can you tell for sure from skull and tooth fragments that the apes that appeared 2 million years ago are our ancestors?
I guess it's possible that they are monkeys that went extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago!
I believe that cavemen still live today!
@joeyarnoldvnMy dear brother Joseph would make a great caveman if he lived in a cave for five months!😆
It's a shame that East Asians like me don't have such a nice, lush beard!😄
