Talk:Paleolithic

Vincent W. Fallio

I think this article needs to be culled of the information and theories sourced from Vincent W. Fallio. He doesn't seem to be a reputable scholar in the field, and his book that's cited often here is not published by a reputable press. Thoughts? NealBhattacharya (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

undeniable things about the population in Africa and Middle east in the Paleolithic

https://archaeologie.bemerkenswelt.de/en this is ground-breaking stuff, the images are satellite imagery from Google Earth so there's no doubt about that, it has placemarks of all stone age formations in Africa and Middle east! TL;DR Africa and Middle east were far more populated. Implement this large chunk of knowledge somewhere on the page, maybe even in a theories section! I hope the idea gets to the scientific community so they can research it more.. 178.221.182.108 (talk) 10:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

That looks like a very unreliable source and I doubt we can use it. The majority of the images on that page are of desert kites, which are well-studied and which we have a good article on, and keyhole monuments (monuments en trou de serrure), which we don't have an article on (yet) but are also known and dated. Neither are Palaeolithic, nor signs of particularly high population densities in the past. – Joe (talk) 11:42, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes - the site is fun, but on a non-exhaustive look it doesn't claim anything about the Paleolithic anyway. Indeed, all comments I saw about dating were admirably vague and cautious. Johnbod (talk) 12:17, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

References problems (February 2025)

refrence 1 is a book that the website costs money to see so it can't be a reference and reference 18 is not working. Latin clash (talk) 05:19, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Typo

Under the Other Inventions sub-heading at the end of the first paragraph it says "....60 km of open ocean at 30,000 BCcal." which I believe should read "....60 km of open ocean at 30,000 BC." Efkinitos (talk) 16:58, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
