I’m probably missing the obvious but how does the assumed demise of the Neanderthals equate with the end of the last (severe) ice age (in Britain). Neither seem to be clearly defined and we don't even seem to know for sure how far the last ice sheet stretched into southern Britain, how long Neanderthals might have lingered on there and perhaps interbred with Homo sapiens.
Just what might have been their legacy in the megalithic building arena – is it really that far-fetched to think that they were incapable of hauling big stones into a circle? They seem to be pretty good at other stone-working techniques so why not circles. And how old are our oldest circles – does anyone know? Does anyone know which are our oldest circles?
