here’s the first one on youtube: https://youtu.be/E8ttoKGxEKc
i think you can watch it on the pbs website also
the other (i’m in the middle of it) is also a pbs/bbc from 2018 called “neanderthal” that uses computer simulations to “reconstruct” neanderthal appearance, motion, speech sounds, etc. have not finished the last part which looks at their extinction and our neanderthal heritage.
i had no idea there were caves in gibraltar that had been inhabited by neanderthals! |
Just recently DNA work in Africa shows that Neanderthal genes made their way there too. Europeans have someting like 6-8% neanderthal genes and they found a population in Africa that has 2-3% Neanderthal. humans have moved back and froth forEVER. borders are bullshit. border walls even more soo. (see how i made it political?)
