Anthropology

I think cave burials, whether Neanderthal, Denisovan, or Homo Sap., were likely pretty special. People who were moving aourn from place to place gathering plants and chasing herds, would more likely have favored exposure burials, scavengers cleaning the bones and completing what they saw as the process of death.

This isn't the only burial where they've found a great deal of possen. Whether they were buried with glowers or with the pollen, itself, it speaks of care for the dead that naysayers would love to deny--they can't have donet that, they weren't US!

(Well, except they were and are us)
