Interesting, I don't have a specific source as I have read about it for years and it was definitely discussed in my wife's physical anthro courses in her recently completely anthro degree.

And I seem to remember this in a display the Museum of Natural History in NY. Neanderthal using speers at close range, but not able to throw an atlatl or speer.

Sounds like people (and I) have been wrong!
