The reality of Neandertal symbolic behavior at the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France. by François Caron, Francesco d'Errico, Pierre Del Moral, Frédéric Santos, João Zilhão

“…<h4>Background</h4>The question of whether symbolically mediated behavior is exclusive to modern humans or shared with anatomically archaic populations such as the Neandertals is hotly debated. At the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France, the Châtelperronian levels contain Neandertal remains and large numbers of personal ornaments, decorated bone tools and colorants, but it has been suggested that this association reflects intrusion of the symbolic artifacts from the overlying Protoaurignacian and/or of the Neandertal remains from the underlying Mousterian.…”

La molaire néandertalienne de la grotte Vaufrey (Dordogne, France) by Maria Dolorès Garralda, Bruno Maureille, Jean-Philippe Rigaud, Bernard Vandermeersch

“…A variety of statistical methods have been employed in comparing this tooth with those from several modern populations as well as with a large series of Neandertal teeth. The results indicate that the Vaufrey 1 tooth is outside the size range of teeth of living humans and that its long mesio-distal length and generally large dimensions place it within the range of variation of earlier Neandertals.…”
