As much as it is the new vogue to claim that Neanderthals where artistic, I am not convinced yet that these artifacts are not signs of newcomers (homo sapiens).

What evidence would you find convincing?

It's been a while and it's hard to remember but back when I was a Neanderthal we had some neighbors who were quite advanced for those prehistoric times.

They not only had paintings on the wall but they were already using the beak of a live domesticated fowl to reproduce their tribal rhythms from vinyl records spinning on stone turntables.

IIRC their names were Fred & Barney.

So n=2.
