Some of the information is now outdated such as neanderthals not being able to throw spears at prey which is now possible for neanderthals because of the 300,000 year oldSchöningen Spears,Early modern humans consuming poisonous berries for hallucination for spiritual rituals, and the incorrect way ofNeanderthals hunting their prey.
