"Gibraltar data are too sparse to inform on Neanderthal exploitation of
coastal resources"
was the only reply the savanna fools could find :-D
Do you know what "data are too sparse" means?
It means not enough data
it means that savanna fools simply "forget" most of the data ;)
Perhaps since English is not your native language we should forgive you
for not understanding what the word "sparse" means:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sparse
it means that you are too stupid to see the evidence
The evidence from all the caves and all open-air Neandertal sites
in Europe and Asia number a thousand to one over the miniscule few
found at Gibraltar. People who cherry pick a few anomalous sites and
try
to argue they are somehow meaningful compared to the whole, only
demonstrate ignorance. 149 mollusk shells for what, 30K years?
That is a starvation diet at best, a joke at worst. Typical of people
who see semi-aquatic mountain beavers.
