Solution
The view of Neanderthals as brutes is in part created by poor skeleton reconstructions. This is because early reconstructions of Neanderthal skeletons were often inaccurate, leading to a perception of them as hunched over and brutish. Modern reconstructions show that Neanderthals had a posture similar to modern humans.
One major criticism of the Solutrean Hypothesis is the fact that Solutrean points are not fluted, whereas nearly all Clovis points are fluted. The Solutrean Hypothesis suggests that the Clovis people, known for their distinctive fluted stone tools, may have originated from the Solutrean people of southern Europe. However, this is disputed because Solutrean points, unlike Clovis points, are not fluted.
