Abstract
There has long been a debate as to whether Neandertals have had modern human culture, and thereby symbolic thought. They are said by many to have shared only the pre-Aurignacian, Mousterian tool industry with Homo sapiens. The Aurignacian has been considered a more advanced industry with specialized blades, and, found with Homo sapiens, representative of advanced thought. Recently added to Neandertal repertoire, however, are blades from the Chatelperronian industry and tool kits from others including the Protoaurignacian. No less, Aurignacian finds, also inclusive of symbolic artifacts (figurines, jewelry, etc.) are not always associated with modern humans, and similar symbolic artifacts have also been found in the Mousterian Neandertal context, one bone flute and 11 redated Spanish cave painting sites, respectively. Observations of symbolism and intent in primate play, Dunbar’s Social Brain Hypothesis, archaeological evidence of group tactical hunting, and anatomical and genetic characteristics, altogether show a high likelihood that Neandertals had language similar to humans. Such language is different from primate language in that it is an open call system whereby particular sounds can mean different things
