"Washington (AFP) - Markings dating back 40,000 years suggest Neanderthals were considerably more sophisticated than previously thought, researchers say.

They reached their conclusions after the discovery of engravings deep in Gorham's Cave in Gibraltar -- the first Neanderthal cave etchings found anywhere in the world."

And:

"Are the deep grooves of horizontal and vertical criss-crossing lines art?"

Heck, we're STILL arguing that one! :thinking:

You know what is really cool about Neanderthal Man? They lived on the earth for more than 50000 years and did not screw it up and look what we have done in 6000.
