One hundred and eighteen years ago this week, prehistorians unearthed La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1—the "Old Man" fossil that defined the Neanderthal myth. But how did a severe case of osteoarthritis turn into an evolutionary caricature? 🧵👇
We often talk about fire as a single evolutionary turning point, but pyrotechnology was a complex, multi-stage material science for early hominins. 🔥 From heat-treating lithics to managing hearth spaces, how did fire shape the hominin mind?

Are we still adhering to the outdated "Cognitive Rubicon" that separates us from Neanderthals? A rigorous look at Middle Paleolithic pyrotechnology suggests it is time to dissolve that boundary.
