Could it have been extraterrestrials?

Dating of butchery marks crucial
A multi-disciplinary team of French CNRS researchers, working with Norwegian and Russian scientists, studied the Byzovaya site in the Polar Urals in northern Russia. Using carbon 14 dating and an optical simulation technique, the team was able to put an accurate date on sediments and on mammoth and reindeer bones abandoned on the site. The bones bore traces of butchering by Mousterian hunters.
The results intrigue scientists in more ways than one. They show that Mousterian culture may have lasted longer than scientists had originally thought. What's more, no Mousterian presence had ever been identified so close to the Arctic Circle. All other traces are at least 1000 km further south. Lastly, the Byzovaya site, in Eurasia, seems only to have been occupied once, approximately 28,500 years ago, which is over 8,000 years after Neanderthals were thought to have disappeared.
So this discovery raises many questions, not least about how Mousterian society was organised. Did Neanderthal Man live longer than thought? Or could these last bearers of Mousterian culture in fact have been Homo sapiens? If so, the theories explaining that Neanderthals died out because their culture was archaic would be put into question. The studies open up new perspectives on this turning point in human history.

Finding the most recent Neanderthal traces so far north would seem to back that up. It's possible that Neanderthals followed the glaciers north as they receded.

Very good! You’re a scholar of no mean sort. Cheers!
Don’t forget “FREEPERANDERTHALS”, the first critics of cave tribal government!

I find it interesting that the Neanderthals died out right about the time that the interglacial warming period began. I don’t make anything of that but the timing is interesting. Just their bad luck?

No. The were leaving anyway. The last straw was the melting of their ice cities. So they got into their ice ships and headed for a colder planet ...
A computer search of Mousterian indicates this is also characteristic of early MOdern Man.
As you say ‘cube...
As far as I know, the Neanderthals never developed anything that could be called “art.” And by the same token, no indications of any religion.
But the fact that they were unable to conceive of projectile weapons (throwing spears, arrows, darts, slings, boomerangs, etc.) is highly indicative of a fundamental difference in their brains.
Yes, but it did take considerable inbreeding to produce the Me-me-me-anderthal in the White House.
