Isn’t this Wilma and Betty from the flint stones? Are we saying the Flintstones are historically accurate now?

What specifically makes you think they were maybe the smartest? Curious.

Can be avoided, just wait for the bear to die. Bears die by themselves if you wait.

I think this article was written by an AI. It is full of errors.

Humans were in the arctic 320,000 years ago?

Maybe they wouldn’t. They probably wouldn’t. Wouldn’t stop me from trying.

Oh yeah, but I always assumed early humans were badass? They didn't have time to waste pondering the nonsense we do.

Why would they believe that what you are asking them would make any difference?

That's more the timeline I was thinking. It would be interesting to try to have a conversation with one of the humans who made the jewelry. See if they're anything in common at all.

Killing a bear with just sticks and rocks is pretty impressive though.

Once your urban center is a plague pit, it can spread from there by humans.

Maybe, maybe not.

All the same, if I ever go back in time to the Middle Ages I’m going to tell people to kill every single rat they ever see.

And boil all the water they use for any purpose, to the extent practical at least.

So it was correct. Okay. Good.

I know that I shouldn't be judging a man who took this stuff in university, but I just needed to double check. Usually Reddit is correct, right?

So early humans wore bear pelts to stay warm?

Colour me surprised?

Ehhh I wouldn't call these humans in our current form. Behavioral modernity for humans is generally accepted to begin about 160,000–60,000 years ago. Nailing down exactly when Homo Sapien as a species emerged is a lot more difficult.

It wasn’t us, article said it was Homo heidelbergensis which split off into homo sapian and Neanderthal. They were smart though and sometimes I wonder if the smartest ‘human’ that ever lived lived 250k years ago

What happened is that rats get infected by fleas. The fleas like the rats so they live in harmony. However if the rat population goes down, the fleas look for another host - a person, so the plague explodes.
