More evidence that Neanderthals were people like us. Doesn't look like much, eh? It's a piece of string.
It takes a lot of insight to make string. You have to understand that twisting fibres together makes a stronger product. You have to see that string is useful for tying stuff. You have to have stuff that needs tying. And so on. Quite an achievement!
Now I know why I save string.
