NEANDERTHAL Glue Works So Well #primitivetechnology #bushcraft #survival #neanderthal #stonetools 

Haha. I think that’s a fair assessment. Color coding is absolutely a necessary thing with tools.

Here in Finland the old boys painted the handles red so that when they put the tool down in a forest they can easily find it again.

@@KovietUnionDefector I do that too. Especially chocker chains

@@timothylongmore7325 it actually makes good sense...I learned this system when I bought a farm here with all the old tools with red handles. Great logic!

Grun heats that good scraper so the yellow ochre turns red ...

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks again!!

You can't find a better channel to learn. You've learned more than a lot of us will ever learn, but should I find myself out where I might need these skills, a lot of what I've put into the semi skill set, I've learned from you. Obviously practice makes perfect which I've done little practice, but should I ever find myself lost, in need of a snare, a blade, a point, a handle, glue, a bow, utilizing what I have at hand, what is in my general area, between you and les stroud, you being the more indepth and thorough for actual teaching, I am no master, but I've learned enough that I could utilize enough to keep alive in a situation that requires me to do so. I have the new new stuff, GPS and maps and compass, and everything in between that's modern, for as long as it lasts, but your teachings and skills give me enough to learn that I might be able to adapt, overcome and survive.

Much respect and appreciation. Get out there and have a good time. The best lessons come from mother nature. Thanks for watching.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks will do, thanks again

In simple terms...yeah! thats a assessment for sure.

Absolutely!

Thanks so very much. Appreciate you watching and following the adventures. I try to just give the facts and show what has been researched.

It's evidence of campfire debitage, non of the artifacts had handles Insitu, it's based upon noting traces of tree sap and other stuff from ashy floor. It's limited to a single site, the sample size is tiny and the entire narrative in that paper is based upon a possibility rather than a conclusive proofing. That's what I've read and been told by more than one paleoanthropologists that see some the archaeology interpretations as problematic. ✌️

@@togodamnus I understand what you are trying to say here, however, I made no mention of these compounds being used as handles. My concurring was in relation to various types of compounds. My apologies for any confusion to anyone here on that. However, debitage refers mostly to the relief flakes that have been removed from a core during the knapping process - at least in my specific academic training which does include a tremendous amount of paleoanthropological training. It is indicative of tool production to create a naturally sharp edge by splitting at the cleavage points. These are oftentimes found where we find them in the same area as where an animal was butchered. These exist well over 770,000 years ago throughout parts of Northern Africa and Eurasia. Many compound adhesives are manufactured entirely differently and for different reasons and different purposes regionally. So the conversation cannot be based upon a single paper, or even a handful of papers, or to any one specific area. Again my lack of having mentioned them used as handles. My paleoanthropologist colleagues and I have been doing a tremendous amount of research that suggests that these compound adhesives have been created/used globally by different peoples, up to and including other species of humans, for a great many different purposes, especially when created within a niche environment for a specific application. There is no singular use for any of these compounds. Hence the multitudes of different compounds being found that are not mentioned in some papers. Thus the suggestion to attempt to not reverse engineer different types of compound adhesives, but to merely create some from scratch to study the results and make comparisons. Would make for interesting viewing.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks understandable, and honest. But if you ever decide to attempt to create various forms and types of compounds, it would be interesting to watch and observe.

@@ancientsouloutdoors4088 Everybody knows what debitage means. Tree sap, bark tar is sticky with or without fairy dust, aluminum or pencil shavings added in. All the ingredients are there around dig site at the various ancient surface strata. I will remain cautiously unpersuaded and objective until there is more evidence and available sample set. Forensically it's a weak case and not conclusive in terms of 'proof positive. The 'super glue' isn't super, and I believe the narrative is exaggerated and based upon mere possibility. Moreover, the blades work just fine without the hours long, complex, cave lab scenario. Would they really go thru the trouble of adding 'super glue' to a largely throw away or limited use cutting flake or blade? I don't think the glue adds much advantage to the tools purpose, it's not at all strong or hard enough to affix a spear points, and the assemblage of artifacts in the sample doesn't include any spear points; some have been presented as 'potential' spear points but they are curved and randomly shaped and if they were spear points they are rather disappointing and comical looking. Believe what you may, however it's hardly conclusive proof or robust sample size or closable case. We'll just have to stick around and await further evidences. I offer this Second Opinion, and free consultation. 🖖

I think so. If it’s brittle it cracks and the user no doubt runs the risk of a cut to the hand. Thanks for watching!!!

Absolutely. All are great examples bitumen. It’s natural, somewhat abundant and easy put into action. Coloring…no doubt helps identify them. Makes them more special to the user.

Awesome. Hope this helps. I have a few other videos on the subject as well.

Yes I've been listening to a north02 podcast at work today about this. If you haven't heard of north02 I suggest you check out

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely. Thats called a Leilera Knife (spelled wrong). Pitch on a flake is a very great cutting advantage!

Archeologists recently discovered that most of the painted animals have patterns of dots on them, they went to other caves and found the same style of patterns on the animals there which leads to the hypothesis that the cave art is actually a "hunting season" calendar, telling the roaming nomad tribes visiting the cave which animals are in the region, when to hunt them and when not to hunt them.

Great point! There’s a ton of different recipes out there. Find what works and roll with it.

Exactly. So very true!!!

Wow, thank you! I appreciate that so very much!!!

Appreciate that

Anytime!!!

Awesome. Very cool.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching. Appreciate it greatly!!!

Thanks for the visit

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you enjoyed it

First…thanks so much for following the adventures. Appreciate it greatly. I think I could with the right accomplices. Like minded people with the right skills. First aid and medicine are important along with ability to have clean water and food. Shelter is important as well things that can keep me feed, hydrated and sheltered. Everything else can come from nature with a little work.

Alcohol hand gel will remove the stickiness or even baby oil.

Appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thanks.

Thanks!

Great book. There’s lots of things that have changed since the book was written. It would be interesting to see a new version of it with today’s understanding of Neanderthals.

Wood Ash is pretty fine too. Red and yellow black and white all my tools be in my sight.....

Absolutely. Great point. Appreciate you wa!

Welcome 😊

Awesome. Glad it was helpful!!!

Absolutely. There are tons of options out there that will get the job done!!!

Count me in. I live some obsidian. Send an email to Donny.dust1@gmail.com. He sounds like an amazing man. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it greatly!

My pleasure. Appreciate you watching!!!

Absolutely!!!

Great point...blood could absolutely be trapped in that connection point. I'm not sure of the actual analysis of a specific type of game, but some stone tool caches in the Colorado area have been found with horse and camal dna.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Mammoth in Utah and Wyoming have been pulled off a Haskett and and a giant "butcher block" as well. I did a little video about the La Prel WY residue once, I found it so compelling. I'd like to see something _REALLY_ old like a mousterian game residue indicator. 🤯

Appreciate you watching!

hide glue is great...no problem!

Thank you very much! It’s a passion of mine. I like to build and then survive in the bush. Appreciate you watching!!!

Absolutely. Lots of bold claims in certain communities. Thanks for watching.

Absolutely. It works the same as regular pitch, has some different colors, but isn’t anything new…except this is the earliest find of it!!!

Off topic i guess unless he needed flexible glue.

Hahaha. I agree totally in every way!

Absolutely!

Thanks. Yes they are Pictish inspired, derived from some ancient stone carvings found across the northern areas of Scotland.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Thank you for the information, I really didn't know about that culture. I find it fascinating, congratulations on your lifestyle and channel.

That makes sense for sure. Strong enough to protect, easily removed and replaced. Seems like a very simple cutting tool for everyday use.

Thats a really interesting thought and it merits discussion in many ways. So, i have had similar thoughts to dots, marks, dashes in Paleolithic paintings...I think it is likely a marker system to count a value in days, months or seasons spent in a particular place. Somewhat like a tally mark.

Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more!

This was specific to the archeological finds. The ocre is the identification of the material being wrapped in pitch and ocre.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Thanks for the fast reply! You do amazing work and we are lucky to have such an excellent source of applied theory!

@@togodamnus I figure wood or even bone wouldn't survive the 40-100 thousand years, but I don't know the site or it's long-term environment. I'm attempting to avoid a Dunning -Kruger effect since I only know a little. Thank you for the added info!

@@tacomandela9118 That is true, fossils are difficult to form let alone find and recover. Keep in mind that there are wooden tools and weapons including apparent digging sticks and even sharpened lances that have been recovered from Schoenigen and Essex to that are remarkably well preserved dating back to like 500,000and 700'000 ybp as well as modified wood logs apparently used for structuring something like a ewok shelter or platform of some sort in Africa dating back to approx 600,000 years before present. That lends itself to many possibilities but we must show discipline and restraint NOT to over think or elaborate beyond the obvious, and be wary of deliberate efforts to exaggerate or distort the interpretation vs the genuine forensics evidence. If neandertalensis cut feathers off of large birds it is not proof that they wore huge feather hats, capes or wingsuits, it's evidence that feathers were cut and removed. Same applies to discovery of eagle claws, there is possibility but not resolved truth or proof. Allll neandertalensis skeletons are immediately declared funerary burials,.and ritual no less... Many are apparent results of predators, cannibals, fatal injuries and not anything else. Even cannibalism is often presented as after care for loved ones and ritualistic, of course. Meanwhile hyenas, big cats, bears and midden debri is also present and abundant, the other mammals dig wallows and hollows and dens but neandertalensis is always accused of ritualistic this and that, and I just think it's not accurate assessment. Any marks left behind are immediately determined to be symbolic no matter how abstract or vague, any pigment or ocre paintings within neandertalensis time frame is immediately declared to be neandertalensis art work, and even though Apidima skull (H sapiens) is dated back to 200,000 ybp, it's insisted that H sapiens didn't arrive in Europe/Eurasia till 50,000 ybp, the H sapiens genome that H sapiens crossed paths with neanderthalensis as early as 300,000, 150,000, and earlier dates until apprx 40,000 years ago. I'm not saying I know exactly for sure, I do not; I'm explaining that they (some scientists) don't either. But some act as though they do, and media just spins it further off center. I'm not so much complaining as I am making an observation. Good comment and valid points you are raising. Cheers 🤙

Thanks!

I hear you. You can still practice the skills and adventures around the caveman world.

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Id love to get better at foraging for high calorie foods where I live, but I dont think I could ever kill and clean an animal

How can you say there are too many people on earth? I agree that some areas are over crowded, but overall the human population isn't hitting any sort of limit. We keep coming up with new tech and management methods that allow families to grow and survival into old age. What would you intend to do to lower the population? Forced sterilization? Forced child sacrifice? Penalties, including death, for women who get pregnant? Removing sanitation and modern medicine so we return to survival of the fittest against illness, injury and disease? Removing agricultural technologies like nitrogen fertilizers to prevent crop abundance? Forced observance of local famine, destroying food storage? What is your honest to goodness stance if you sincerely believe there are too many people? How would you determine what an appropriate number is? And how would you decide who lives and who dies? If you cannot answer these questions, then what backs your opinion that there are too many people?

@@Undomaranel WTF...he never mentioned wanting to kill anyone. Do not pass on your paranoia and halocinations to other people. You've asked a lot of good questions in this thread...on the face of it...but if you were to understand that he never talked about killing anyone then you might understand that your logic questions fail because they aren't that deal with topic. There are too many people for his personal opinion...you can't deny him the right to his own opinion and feelings, that crosses borders. There is nothing more to say about this!!

Awesome

Right on. Appreciate you watching!!!

Also for forcefully thrusting outward into animals and other people/species, including modern sapians.
