It is believed that this site saw waves of visitors for over 130,000 years. . . . This should produce some very interesting stuff ! Neanderthals, Denisovians and early humans all used this location. Every layer is pure gold, so to speak. Tajikistan is high and dry enough to have preserved ancient materials, maybe even some DNA. STILL can't find out much about H.erectus alas ... they seem to have stuck to tropical, damp, climes which rot away everything. SOMEDAY we'll find a little DNA ........ I'm gonna GUESS that Erectus, esp later on, was more or less as smart as Neanderthals and ourselves. But HOW did they contribute to the global genetic mix and emergent cultures ??? Ya know ... "trolls" and "ogres" ... the descriptions, likely prejudicial, ARE a pretty good match for what we know Neanderthals looked like. Sometimes the past CAN live on in the cultural lexicon if nowhere else. -- 033-33
