Neolithic cannibalism in Spain’s Sierra de Atapuerca. New evidence of cannibalism among farming communities over 5,700 years ago. Victims were locals, not outsiders. Not linked to famine — likely tied to intergroup violence.

Two important papers for understanding the way of life (paleoecology and diet) in the Middle Pleistocene (pre-Neanderthals and Neanderthals) have been published today — one of them is ours. 🦴🦴🍗🍖☠️

He estado en la llanura del Nadab, en Australia, por donde pasó la Serpiente Arcoiris durante el Sueño. Cantó las rocas, las plantas, los animales y las personas y los trajo a la vida.->

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.

📢 New paper out in Journal of Archaeological Science!
We present a regional analysis of fallow deer in Middle Paleolithic Levant and propose a methodological refinement for aging that has major implications for understanding human hunting behavior.

My two cents on what communal hunting tells us about human evolution beyond hunting itself. With commentaries by Eugène Morin, Ashley Lemke, Lutz Kindler & Jarod Hutson www.sciencenews.org/article/anci...
Ancient horse hunts challenge ideas of ‘modern’ human behavior
An archaeological site in Germany suggests communal hunting and complex thinking emerged earlier in human evolution than once thought.

The climate and early human societies were changing quickly during the fall of our closest evolutionary relative—and are big clues to the causes of their demise.
