yes I just learned about them specifically, they seem like they're a canddiate to be more advanced than we know so far

Archaic humans are fascinating to read about

They invented the sewing needle but we don't exactly know what they used it for but that's wild, it was like 65k years ago and they're sewing fabric

Amazon rainforest actually seems like the most likely candidate now crazy enough bc it was one of the last non island places humans migrated to

I think the most prevailing theory, at least with canids, is that humans would toss them leftover scraps to get them to leave the colony alone, and overtime those animals would just develop a habit of relying on humans to get their food.
