Neanderthals created stone tools held together by a multi-component adhesive, a team of scientists has discovered. Its findings, which are the earliest evidence of a complex adhesive in Europe, suggest these predecessors to modern humans had a higher level of cognition and cultural development than previously thought.
I read Neanderthals as Netherlands and was incredibly confused for a bit.
Definitely confusing. Everyone knows there’s no higher cognition in the Netherlands

They still make adhesives though.
I thought it was known that their intelligence was comparable to a modern human’s.
Debated, but the arguments against it sound an awful lot like phrenology, and they keep finding evidence of higher order thinking like this, soooo
They would’ve done great in prison making shivs for commissary trades.
