Really enjoyed bringing and their world to a different audience at the Yorkshire event yesterday.

Reading back around Shanidar , and this from 14 yrs ago on S3 injury now seems even more intriguing given shift in knowledge of timing of H. sapiens entering Eurasia with apparent dart/ bow & arrow tech before 55,000 BP

This is such a great point, and v relevant to our persistent assumptions about what and other hominins "should" have been eating/doing, vs. seeing them as knowledgeable agents who have desires & cultural frameworks within which they may perform normatively or not
