Gutsick Gibbon’s notes: “The usage of ochre pigment is often considered evidence of symbolism, and appears first not in AMH but in our sister species: Homo neanderthalensis 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. This red pigment was excavated at Maastricht-Belvédère in the Netherlands, and although it's function is not fully understood, it makes an understanding of what makes AMH unique a bit more complicated. H. neanderthalensis has also been discovered as living contemporaneously with AMH in both the Middle East and Western Europe. This makes it difficult to draw a strict association of AMH and upper paleolithic tools, as H. neanderthalensis populations may well have been utilizing such technologies as well.”
