The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Steve Churchill, Professor Steve Churchill suggested that there might have been some interspecies violence based on some, I think it was maybe some Iraqi material.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Was it Iraq?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But I think it's very, very difficult to prove something being interspecies.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Really, the way you do it is it's like if the injury looks like a projectile injury as opposed to a close-range hunting injury, projectile is us.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It's not them.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But I think what you do tend to find, though, is culture being...

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

transmitted.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

So there are a few examples that are used.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It looks like there's a particular kind of glue that we actually might have picked up off the Neanderthals.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

We might have learned how to make this particular glue off the Neanderthals.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

There is a tool that actually is still being used, I have been told, in some very, let's say, haute couture French fashion houses to prepare leather

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

And that looks like it was picked up from the Neanderthals as well.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It might not have been, but that's kind of been a suggestion.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But then also people that really, really have incredible sights.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

There's a few people who have the kind of sights where there's a lot of resolution so they can really start seeing things in different layers.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

They will argue certain things.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

They will argue that it looks like there's some kind of technological exchange or information exchange.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

but that there are parameters on it often.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

I think Maurice Seresi and Ludwig, both of them have argued similar things, that it does look like there's information exchange, but they're not necessarily, or at least some people are not necessarily arguing that we're sitting there going, right, so how do you do it?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Okay, I'll do it.
