- In this video, John Hawks visits the sites of Gorham's and Vanguard Caves, which are in the territory of Gibraltar. He visits with the archaeologists Geraldine Finlayson, Clive Finlayson, and Darren Fa, who discuss their work at these sites. Major aspects that are covered in the video include a perspective on archaeological fieldwork in this setting, how archaeologists make conclusions about ancient behavior from site formation and artifacts, and how Neanderthals used the resources around them to survive.
This makes me wish I'd followed my dream and went to school to be able to do this or something similar. I love in North Florida and would love to a have studied and worked to research a Paleo Indian site like Padge Lawson on the Aucilla River! This is amazing stuff right here 😊
God, I want your job, why did I study Philosophy??? Just kidding, I suspect it was that study informs my envy...Brilliant stuff mate, absolutely brilliant!!!! Oh yeah, subscribed
wonderful
Cool thanks
Thanks for sharing this, I noticed the lady guide has too much more things to tell.
Amazing place to visit!
Would it be possible to go to Gibraltar for side seeing
Utterly fascinating....
It would be wonderful to visit such a place, to learn more about these sensitive, intelligent people.
SENSITIVE? haha...
@@KL-te1dq Well who knows, they would have been individuals just like us and while it might not exactly be accurate to call them all "sensitive" it's probably more fitting than the usual inaccurate portrayal of them as unintelligent savage brutes compared to Homo Sapiens.
I would like to have learned what flora and fauna was indicated in the pollen, charcoal petrified remains etc at the different levels/epochs.
She did mention hyenas.
On the African plains today Hyenas mop up after the larger predators so does their presence also signal the presence of lions and leopards in Southern Europe?
Very interesting video.
dukadar o'dear Europe did have lions, the cave lion that was bigger than the African lion.
Fantastic video sir. Thank you for sharing this. I absolutely love it.
fascinating, getting down to the meat of archaeology...
Wow. Thanks for the upload
My DNA says I have 330 Neanderthal variants! LOL
@ Mark Healy: ‘dead coals’ and possibly also hot ashes or hot stones. Trivia: In the olden days when kids used to walk to school, in the winter’ they would hold hard boiled eggs (their lunch) in the pockets to keep warm.
Nice one. Thx.
They had a hard life
How can I contact you? I am doing a video series and was wanting to ask you a few questions.
Very interesting video. Thanks!
I would love to have her give me a private tour!
What an awesome find!
Professor John Hawks is the true Indiana Jones of science! Much admiration and respect for his work! Thank you!
I share your enthusiasm for you.
This is amazing!
I am down brother !!
This is awesome.
Awesome explanation
Here's a hypothesis: Might people might spread dead coals under their sleeping surfaces and then cover the warm layer with animal skins or green leaves or something to use for heating?
Well it's funny you say that hot ash was actually used in Africa by modern humans in bedding to prevent bed bugs and ticks so people definitely used hot ashes so it wouldn't be a big leap to use them for heat
Incredible, I could listen to this lady (name?) all day, John H. awesome, thrilling as usual. Best time in history to study fossils, etc. I wish I would have gone into this field instead, but learned enough long ago to understand the basics here. PCR and the floppy 5.5 in. disk for storing data. yep, long ago. . .
I love John Hawks's lectures on Neanderthals. Checked this link out and subscribed. Absolutely wonderful stuff!!
If you think he's good, you should see Mike Hawk.
