Neanderthal cave art found in Spain

Actually I've read papers where the researchers note that the methods used weren't completely satisfactory and say that they plan to continue their analysis and what they're going to do next.

In any case it would still be a good idea for you to explain why you think it is controversial

In the past part of the line between human and other related species and sub-species was the ability graphically represent and communicate their ideas, ie art work. If these are Neanderthal graphic illustrations this would blur the line of our species with our ancestors and other related sub-species and species.

I share this view that lines between related species and sub-species is not as clear as some would think. I believe the process of evolution is more a continuum over time and place and not specific species somehow evolve to one or more species.

Its sort of a hashtag.




Yes because scientists typically communicate that there method is controversial in their own paper.

Picasso would.

After reviewing the publication and data I do not believe any scientists find this method controversial.

You call that art?

Picasso would.

Also the date is controversial.

Document how controversial. After reviewing the publication and data I do not believe any scientists find this method controversial.

Have you seen some most of the stuff being made today (or for several decades) that is called art

That's affirm.

I still think it is a real stretch to say that it is art.

~64,000 to 60,000 year old Neanderthal cave art found

Groundbreaking research published Thursday in Science throws a wrench into all that. In the paper, an international team of scientists, discovering that cave paintings in three sites across Spain are collectively between 64,000 and 66,000 years old, report that there’s no way those cave paintings could have been made by early Homo sapiens. At that time, there was only one species of hominin living in Spain that could have made this art — not humans, who arrived 40,000 years ago, but the Neanderthals.
