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.[1][2] 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)
