ICE AGE ART AND THE BEAR CULT

Neanderthal Man reconstruction

We know that at least some people of the Neanderthal culture in Europe had hed hair. In this reconstruction I assume that blue eyes and pale skin evolved to become a predominant feature among people living in the northern hemisphere during the ice age. Genetic studies of clothing lice suggest some form of dress already existed. We know that people of the Neanderthal culture used feathers for ornament (as well as body paints - omitted here for a better view of anatomical features). The hair style etc is pure conjecture. However, much about the people of the Neanderthal culture is very reminiscent of normadic life in the northern steppes where the bear was worshipped as the main sacred ancestor. Ancient bear claw necklaces are also associated with these people.
