Thanks for that review. I think it's a good thing to include experts in all relevant fields as co-authors. There are many archaeologists available and some with solid knowledge of lithic technology. We are nice. :)

Some Neanderthals ate their females: nature.com/articles/s4159…. Male Neanderthals interbred with female Sapiens: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Suggested narrative: Male Neanderthals ate too many females and were lucky when h. sapiens arrived with new partners.

Archaeologists unearthed a man's skeletal remains at Nazlet Khater 2, an archaeological site in Egypt's Nile Valley. Anthropological analysis revealed that he was between 17 and 29 years old when he died 30,000 years ago and was of African ancestry. The skeleton is the oldest example of Homo sapiens remains found in Egypt. Researchers used photogrammetry to create a facial approximation.

Es ist nicht die erste Reise des Außenministers auf den afrikanischen Kontinent. @AuswaertigesAmt tweeting about the first travel of foreign minister to Africa. But, he already has been to Egypt.

The "Europäisches Hansemuseum" in Lübeck is highly recommendable. Excavations below, history above, detailed reconstructions, information that you can modify to your interests beforehand, graphs, sounds, rooms with minimal media stimulation. Informative and exciting. Perfect.

@uwagbale_ @glchouin Just checked Wikipedia. Coca Cola was first sold as sirup. Later they sold it already mixed with soda in single instances but it really started after introduction of bottlecaps in 1899. Production of their own bottles started 1917. All too late for the torpedo bottle.
