You just know somebody had to live in that cave.
There’s a Zillow page on it.
Biden....in the cave’s basement.
I have just finished reading 2 of the 6 volumes in Jane Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear saga. The first volume which has the heroine, a homeo-sapien, found after a major earthquake, rescued by a clan of Neandertals. The author did a lot of research and that volume was published in 1980. Her Neandertals were described as tending to send the females to live with the husband and his family. Men were described as especially important as hunters of big meat.
The author apparently based her Neandertal clan on research done at a cave on the southern side of the Crimean peninsula. I wonder if her descriptions of these people was based solely on skeletal and artifact remains, or if she also had access to some early DNA work? The heroine’s subsequent search for her own kind appearently occurred in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, before moving West. Since I an currently following Ukraine/Russia events, I found the authors descriptions of these areas at least 25,000 years ago quite interesting.
The books are fun if you like love stories and great detail, along with interesting suggestions as to how various more recent deelopments of civilization might have occurred.
