The Neanderthal's Whistle
The Neanderthal's Whistle

Summary/Abstract: While Ideologues preach once again that History is over, looking at its beginnings might prove useful. The whistle that was found at the prehistoric (excavation) site near Idrija doesn’t attract the attention it truly deserves. If it really is a whistle and if it really belonged to a Neanderthal, this finding has metaphysical dimensions. Depending of course on the Metaphysics one chooses to use. After Durkheim it has become well known that through totemisms, religions and metaphysics we really seek to regulate our social functions, so no one should look for truth and falsehood in metaphysical debates. Our attention should be focused on its practical effects instead. If we won’t produce any, others will test them on us.
