The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

To try and learn a bit more about that potential eastward movement of the Homo sapiens.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

I think so quite as well.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It's really interesting, that story.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But if we do focus a bit more on Europe and Homo sapiens, do we know when...

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

they do manage to be a bit more successful and get into kind of Europe proper and then imagining interactions between them and Neanderthal groups there.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It's Greece.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

It's very confusing.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But we can imagine, let's say between 55 and 60,000 years ago, something like that.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Can we tell from the evidence now that there would have been clear interactions between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens there?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Large peaceful?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

And when you say Ludwig, that's Ludwig Slimann?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

I hope we'll probably talk about that site in a bit, this event which happens in a bit, a lot of cold coming in.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But what you were saying there, I have to then ask about your communication, that potential of communication.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

You've done a lot of work on the handshake.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

Do you think it's likely that there would have been a Homo sapien Neanderthal handshake?

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

I think you might need to explain that one.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

You kind of preempted my next question, which was like, obviously there is some sort of interaction because we know they're shagging with each other as well.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

But it's just fascinating, that communication to wonder

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

what that communication was.

The Ancients
Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals

I remember talking to Chris about this, you know, could there have been the equivalent of a Neanderthal homo sapien translator, as it was, someone who was kind of working to bridge the gap?
