To try and learn a bit more about that potential eastward movement of the Homo sapiens.
It's really interesting, that story.
But if we do focus a bit more on Europe and Homo sapiens, do we know when...
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.
But we can imagine, let's say between 55 and 60,000 years ago, something like that.
Can we tell from the evidence now that there would have been clear interactions between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens there?
And when you say Ludwig, that's Ludwig Slimann?
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.
But what you were saying there, I have to then ask about your communication, that potential of communication.
You've done a lot of work on the handshake.
Do you think it's likely that there would have been a Homo sapien Neanderthal handshake?
I think you might need to explain that one.
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.
But it's just fascinating, that communication to wonder
what that communication was.
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?
