An impressing story Franz, but lots of questions left. / > Do you think the Neanderthals used Edelweiss? / > Are there any felt hats found in a reliable Magdalenian / > context? / The Magdlenians, I guess, wore hats made of bear fur. As there are no more bears in the Bavarian forests but sheep on the pastures the Bavarians wear felt hats. I found no edelweiss on my list of glacial and postglacial relics in the flora of western Europe, but there always grew the alpine rose Rhododendron sardellii, already 100,000 years ago in France. That pretty shrub with lovely red blossoms may even be 60 million years old, whereas Toumai, Child of Hope, the earliest hominid known so far, is only seven million years old, so all the hominids and early humans might have adorned themselves with alpine roses or other small-flowered variants of rhododendra.
