Neanderthal String

This photo provided by Marie-Helene Moncel in April 2020 shows a Neanderthal excavation site in Abri du Maras, France, where researchers said they found the oldest known manufactured fiber. The specimen is a quarter-inch-long, made of 3 bundles of tree-bark fibers twisted together, with an age of some 40,000 to 50,000 years. (M-H. Moncel via AP)
