Do they serve any other purpose than to make Africa a shithole? I was trying to look into their ecology, and all I could find were some probably very useful college papers on them that I would have to pay to get access to. Do they have an important role in Africa's ecology? If so, what is it...

So I have seen some very brief suggestions about their domestication on this forum but I haven't been able to find any kind of serious discussion. If there is, could someone link me to the thread? If not, why would you guys say these animals were not domesticated OTL? They behave very similarly...

If modern humans were to enter Eurasia via the Strait of Gibraltar as opposed to the Levant, which would be blocked by a denser population of neanderthals, and agriculture got started in Western Europe (specifically Spain or Italy) instead of the Fertile Crescent, what kind of crops would we be...

As far as I can tell, and I haven't been able to find much in detail, the primary difference between the two is that Aurignacian tools utilized bone and were engraved, where Mousterian tools were not? Am I missing something, or is that pretty much it?

The scene is Doggerland, 176,000 years before present, on the banks of a rather larger river unknown to us today. It is high spring, and thousands of Atlantic Salmon are finally completing their 200 miles journey up river to spawn. The water is nearly freezing, having warmed little in its own...

Does anybody know of any internet sources on theories concerning what actually happened between St. Stanislaw and Boleslaw II? I'm kind of skeptical about the idea that he resurrected a man who had been dead for three years...

My friend is an owner of a pet fox, and I've never seen a more intelligent pet in my life. My coati, who I have unfortunately had to leave with my dad in Hawai'i, is smart, but I haven't been able to teach him the kinds of tricks that this fox knows. Plus, the fox has proved to be an invaluable...

I can find VERY little information on this subject on the net, can anyone help? I know that Stigand was the Archbishop of Canterbury and Leofwine the Bishop of Lichfield before the Norman Conquest... that's about it.

Before I post my alternate timeline to get some feedback, I want to just say that I'm glad to be here. I tried to register in the past and my registration was turned down on account of my "looking suspicious" I believe the reason was... I'm not sure why anyone would've gotten that impression, as...
