Thanks. :td:
Previously, the earliest funeral rituals were thought to be associated with Neanderthal remains dated 100,000 years ago. But some researchers dispute the significance of these sites, preferring to believe that abstract thinking began around 50,000 years ago in modern humans.
SO Neanderthals might not have passed on human burials to Homo sapiens? They were already doing it! :ask:
