Cabanes, Dan et al. “Phytolith Evidence for Hearths and Beds in the Late Mousterian Occupations of Esquilleu Cave (Cantabria, Spain).” ScienceDirect 1 (2010): n. pag. Print. “Thus, we can assume that the presence of wood and bark phytoliths is obviously related to the use of this type of fuel in the hearth.” “The Geological Context.” Lascaux. N.p., n.d. Web. This showed me that the caves the hominids resided in were created by fissures in the rocks which hollowed out the caves. Jo Marchant. “A Journey to the Oldest Cave Paintings in the World.” Smithsonian Magazine. N.p., n.d. Web. I learned from this that the hominids made the cave paintings to remember the hunt, and this was an important step, because when they did this after every time, their cognitive memory would slowly evolve. “Who Were the Neanderthals.” Natural History Museum. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Sept. 2020. I learned from this that the Neadrathals went inside the caves to make jewelry, created out of ivory teeth and eagle talons. Wayman, Erin . “The Earliest Example of Hominid Fire.” Smithsonian Magazine. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Sept. 2020. I learned that they created fires inside the caves, eating meat with skewers created out of ironstone, over fires made of crushed, inflammable herbs. Thanks also to the movie Cave of Forgotten Dreams!
