Deep inside a Spanish cave, Neanderthals repeatedly placed horned animal skulls over tens of millennia. Spatial analyses show deliberate, symbolic behavior shaped by tradition, not chance. #Neanderthals #Paleoanthropology #Archaeology www.anthropology.net/p/horns-in-t...

Paleoanthropology was also required for the forensic degree, but for some reason most of those majors were evangelical young earth creationists (at a catholic college????) and day one the prof said "I don't care what you believe outside of class, here you will be graded on the material we teach."

Meet "Dragon Man" (Homo longi). 🐉 Found in Harbin, China, this massive skull was hidden for 80 years! It represents a sister lineage to us and might be closer than Neanderthals. Evolution is a flow, not a ladder. 🌊

Personally what helps me is paleoanthropology and seeing the different species of humans that existed, functioned and our own and how we carry the legacy of others too. It makes me think a lot more of how we're just some kind hominid capable of immense kindness too at a fundamental level

New 430,000-year-old wooden tools from Greece are rewriting the timeline of human innovation. We’ve always known stone tools were only half the story—now we have the receipts for the other half.

Did the environment dictate the Neanderthal mind? 🦴 🎨
Instead of asking if they could make art, we should ask why they did. My latest post explores symbolism as an ecological survival strategy.

Archaeology isn't just digging. Sometimes, to understand the past, you have to recreate it. ⚒️
Experimental archaeology involves making replica tools and using them (butchery, woodworking) to study microscopic use-wear patterns. It’s how we move from guessing to knowing. 🔬
