Hi Amadeus;

I must use my old computer, the new one needs repair, found this.
IIRC the question was how did the bones of neanderthal man come to show so
much damage?
Could be several answers, none that I can think of provable.
They might have taken a more direct approach, and been stepped on or bitten
by large animals, while paleo man might have used his head and dug, then
sat in slothful safety

Methods of acquiring meat could be an answer, and the man-made cliff is one
possiblility. Would archaeologists recognise what they see? Note this hole
would not be associated with human remains.
