"Caveman": A stick is the solution of all your problems

Well, I didn't see any sticks, I definitely saw two cavemen--a female and a male. i could not identify whether they were Neanderthals or homo spaiens, however, my best guess would be homo sapiens. It is also plausible that they were a subspecies of homo sapien.

Habitat: It appeared to be an apartment complex. No foliage. Small side street in the city of Granada. Car between subjects and road. Car contained an assortment of objects piled halfway to the ceiling with no visible organization.

Appearance: they had decorated their bodies with what appeared to be clothing. However, if they made it or scavenged it from a nearby garbage site could not be ascertained without further study. The hair of both the female and the male were the same color and length: light brown and mid-back length. It seems that they did not have the tools necessary to comb hair. Woman: ~1.67 m Male: ~1.80 m

Other Observations: Woman appeared agitated. She was making rapid movements with proximal appendages. Facial expression was very tense and she glanced back and forth between car and male caveman. Intermittently, grabbed objects from ground and threw them in car. Vocalizations are loud and emphasized with hand movements. Several minutes after first observation, female was seen driving car down street toward city center. Shoulders hunched, eyes fixed ahead, no sign of recognition of objects on either side of car. Appears to have evolved skills for manipulation of complex tools as well as an ability for language.

I very much wish that I had collected photographic data for this study, but doing so may have proved dangerous. on further hikes to the same location no further sightings of cavemen occurred.

It also appeared that I was not the only one interested in observing the natural habitat of cavemen. Twenty minutes after first session of observation, I retraced my steps to the first site, and noticed that an organization (possibly research oriented) called "La Policia" were making detailed assessments of the area. Possibly studying the male subject and apartment that he had nested in.

LOL, what the crap? I wonder if they were actors? Good observations, Hanson, although, a picture is worth a thousand words...

I know and that is exactly why I wrote a thousand words on the subject because I wish I had had a picture. Lol, jk. But, seriously, they were very strange.
