Secrets of the Neanderthals (2024)
Full of unbased speculations
There are too many assumptions they regard as conclusions. Not every circle is evidence for religion, and not every corpse in a cave is sacred burial. There could be so many other explanations for things, but it feels the show just chooses the most poetic ones as truth. Someone was found dead in a natural pose in front of a rock? Ahh he must have been put there as a religious ceremony and this is probably the beginning of religion.
If they have better reasons to why the jumped si high for these conclusions, they didn't explain them.
Also, i found the reenactments cringey, and the pacing is off. There are some parts that have modern world updates that are really longer than they should be. No, i don't need a 5 minutes update on the history of iraq just so they can tell me that that archeologist didn't come back to the site...
