He mea ohorere tēnei kitenga nā te mea e whakaaro ana te iwi he taketake, he mohoao hoki ngā Neanderthal, engari he mahi whakamiharo te tuhi i ngā ana i neke atu i te 60,000 tau ki muri mā rātou.
I kitea e ngā kaipūtaiao i te wā kāore anō kia noho te tangata hou ki te whenua o Ūropi, i te wā e tuhi ana ngā Neanderthal i ngā stalagmite i Ūropi, i reira rātou e tuhi ana i ngā stalagmite.
He mea ohorere tēnei kitenga nā te mea e kiia ana he māmā noa iho, he mohoao hoki ngā Neanderthal, engari he mahi whakamiharo te tuhi i ngā ana i neke atu i te 60,000 tau ki muri mā rātou.
I hangaia ngā peita ana i kitea i roto i ngā ana e toru i Pāniora i waenganui i te 43,000 me te 65,000 tau ki muri, 20,000 tau i mua i te taenga mai o te tangata hou ki Ūropi. E whakaū ana tēnei i hangaia ngā mahi toi e ngā Neanderthal i te 65,000 tau ki muri.
Heoi, e ai ki a Francesco d'Errico, te kaituhi tahi o tētahi pepa hou i roto i te maheni PNAS, he mea tautohenga tēnei kitenga, "e kī ana tētahi tuhinga pūtaiao he matū taiao pea ēnei tae" ā, ko te hua tēnei o te rere o te waikura rino.
E whakaatu ana tētahi tātaritanga hou kāore te hanganga me te tūranga o te peita e hangai ki ngā tukanga taiao. Engari, ka pania te peita mā te rehu me te pupuhi.
Ko te mea nui ake, kāore te kakano o aua tae e ōrite ki ngā tauira tūturu i tangohia mai i te ana, e tohu ana tēnei i ahu mai te tae i tētahi pūtake o waho.
E whakaatu ana ngā taipitopito o te wā i whakamahia ai ēnei tae i ngā wā rerekē, neke atu i te 10,000 tau te wehenga.
E ai ki a d'Errico o Te Whare Wānanga o Bordeaux, "e tautoko ana tēnei i te ariā kua maha ngā wā i tae mai ai ngā Neanderthal ki konei i roto i ngā mano tau ki te tohu i ngā ana ki te peita."
He uaua ki te whakarite i te "toi" a ngā Neanderthal ki ngā peita i hangaia e ngā tāngata o mua. Hei tauira, ko ngā peita i kitea i roto i ngā ana o Chauvie-Pondac i Parani neke atu i te 30,000 tau te pakeke.
Engari nā tēnei kitenga hou ka nui haere ngā taunakitanga e whakaatu ana i te ngaronga o te whakapapa Neanderthal i te 40,000 tau ki muri, ā, ehara rātou i te whanaunga matapōkere o Homo sapiens kua roa nei e whakaahuatia ana he Homo sapiens.
I tuhituhi te tīma ehara ēnei peita i te "toi" i te tikanga whaiti, "engari he hua o ngā mahi whakairoiro e aro ana ki te pupuri tonu i te tikanga tohu o te wāhi."
"He mea nui te hanganga o te ana i roto i te pūnaha tohu o ētahi hapori Neanderthal", ahakoa he mea ngaro tonu te tikanga o ēnei tohu.
