... that Neanderthals went seafaring through the Mediterranean? Source: [1], [2]
- ALT1:... that Neanderthals went fishing? Source: [3], [4]
- ALT2:... that Neanderthals made tools out of shells? Source: [5]

Reviewed: Couma utilis
Comment: I want something that doesn't requires the words may have, possibly, it is likely, etc. (so, nothing like "Neanderthals may have made cave paintings"), and I want something to do with Neanderthals and marine resources especially because it was once thought that Neanderthals didn't want anything to do with water until recently (so recent, I believe, that the sentiment was once on the Wikipedia article)
