Recent archaeological findings in the Caucasus Mountains reveal that Neanderthals created sophisticated bone projectiles for hunting, exemplifying their technological skills. The oldest known bone point, dating back 80,000 to 70,000 years, demonstrates that Neanderthals were capable artisans who designed these tools independently. This discovery, along with earlier findings of Neanderthal jewelry and tools, suggests that they were intellectually advanced and not simply imitating Homo sapiens. The point's position near an ancient hearth further indicates a developed culture and lifestyle among Neanderthals, emphasizing their adaptability and resourcefulness in prehistoric environments.
The bone projectile point, discovered in the Caucasus, offers evidence that Neanderthals independently developed advanced hunting tools, demonstrating their ingenuity and skills in survival.
Dating back to between 80,000 and 70,000 years ago, the discovery of this projectile reinforces the notion that Neanderthals were capable creators, not mere imitators of Homo sapiens.
