Neanderthal teeth found in Krapina (northern Croatia), from about 130,000 years ago.

This Neanderthal had an impacted molar, and the surrounding teeth have grooves, scratches, and fractures in the enamel.  This shows that the individual may have been using some kind of a toothpick (perhaps a piece of bone, wood or even stiff grass) to try and relieve the pain.

Discovery adds rock collecting to Neanderthal's repertoire

Maybe this Neanderthal was a rock hound?

An international group that includes a University of Kansas researcher has discovered a brownish piece of split limestone in a site in Croatia that suggests Neanderthals 130,000 years ago collected the rock that stands out among all other items in the cave.

"If we were walking and picked up this rock, we would have taken it home," said David Frayer, a professor emeritus of anthropology who was part of the study. "It is an interesting rock."

The finding is important, he said, because it adds to other recent evidence that Neanderthals were capable—on their own—of incorporating symbolic objects into their culture. The rock was collected more than 100 years ago from the Krapina Neanderthal site, which has items preserved in the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb, where in recent years the research team has re-examined them.

My trip to the Krapina museum went so well! :D (if we ignore having to get up at 4.30am to board the bus at 6 but whatever)

I really enjoy natural history museums and this one surely did deliver! We got to see so many hominin species(go grandpa go!). There was also a neat skull identifying workshop and I got to hold some neat skull models(Australopithecus robustus sure are robust)

Also nobody told me her ass was this tiny!!! Go grandma go!! Ngl good thing that glass cylinder is there, cuz I totally didn't think about putting her in my mouth because of how small she is(sorry grandma).

JEDNA profesorica iz Krapinsko-zagorske županije rekla je da su u škole dolazili policajci.

"Kao povjerenica sam ostala u školi zbog bolesti i nisam išla na prosvjed. Nakon odlaska kolega u školu je došla policija, tražila moje podatke, status, tko je organizator odlaska na prosvjed", poslala je sindikalnim čelnicima profesorica iz Krapinsko-zagorske županije.
