Modeling of Adhesive Technology Sheds New Light on Prehistoric Cognition
Studying prehistoric production processes of birch bark tar reveals the cognitive abilities of Neanderthals and early modern humans.
Using computational modeling, researchers from TU Delft examined the methods used to create birch bark tar.
They found that Neanderthals likely relied on cognitive traits associated with modern thinking and behavior.
Scaling up the technological process had a significant impact on complexity, suggesting Neanderthals had ways to deal with this complexity.
Modeling of Adhesive Technology Sheds New Light on Prehistoric Cognition
Researchers from TU Delft have used computational modeling to study the production processes of birch bark tar, shedding new light on the cognitive abilities of Neanderthals and early modern humans. The study found that Neanderthals likely possessed cognitive traits associated with modern thinking and behavior, as they used complex production methods to create the tar. Scaling up the technological process had a significant impact on complexity, indicating that Neanderthals had strategies for dealing with complex tasks. These findings provide valuable insights into the cognitive capabilities of prehistoric humans.
