Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans and their interaction

Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans and their interaction based on the Bones season 8 episode 12

 
The response paper is based on Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans and their interaction based on the Bones season 8 episode 12 ("The archaeologist in the cocoon").

This is a scientific critique, not a movie review. You will be reviewing the accuracy of both the biology and the anthropology in this film, not its writing or editing. Consider these prompts for analysis:

Anatomy: are the hominins depicted accurately, based on your knowledge of anatomically modern humans and Neaderthals?

Behavior: are the hominins depicted accurately in how they behave, from what we know about them from archaeological sites? How about the social structure of the group as discussed (hint: consider El Sidron as a source for that) And how about diet, is it depicted accurately?

Preservation: does it make sense that the site would be well-preserved anough to analyze it with this level of thoroughness? What would keep the remains from being in this state of preservation and what would preserve the context?

What are the conclusions here that are based on fact that are presented, and what are conclusions are conjecture? Please discuss those, the difference between fact and opinion.

Analyze the behaviors of the humans (the scientists) … are they behaving in a territorial manner? Do you see primate behaviors expressed in their more human variations?
Be sure to fully source your paper, both in-text and on a source page. The paper should be at least 1000 words in length, not counting the source page (this would be about 4 pages, typed, double-spaced). Your points will come from the accuracy of your critique, your support of your criticisms (both positive and negative) with proper sourcing, and the overall quality of your paper.

Helpful hints: don’t review the movie! Review the facts and information. Do a bit of source reading first, and then the errors, and accuracies, will be immediately apparent to you.

Choose some questions to answer:
1. Instant sexing of victim from skull?
2. Hsn/Hss site=25,000 years ago in Chechen Republic- When did Neanderthals die out+where?
3. "Neanderthal axe"= homicide weapon- Could that Really be determined?
4. They used morphology to determining family, relationships. Would there be another better way?
5. The family are called "outcasts" since they were different species. How to prove it? What evidence? Modern projection on archaeological evidence?
6. Lines on teeth proved starvation? How long was she starving, because enamel hypoplasias take a LONG time to form.
7. Site preservation: The mother was grinding, the child sleeping under skins? Prove it.
