Camilla Power on
'Neanderthals, Homo sapiens and the human revolution'

Camilla Power will be comparing the evidence for the emergence of language, art and symbolism between the lineages of Neanderthals in Eurasia and Homo sapiens in Africa. Some similarities and some differences are suggested by archaeological, fossil, demographic + palaeogenomic data. Did both populations engage in the human symbolic revolution, and was this fundamental to interchange between them?

It's ritual!

A simple black and white cartoon drawing.

Three figures are standing at a bar counter, and there is a simple cup/glass next to each figure.
The three figures represent different viewpoints:

The figure on the left, labeled "Optimist," has a happy expression and text next to it that says "The glass is half-full."

The figure in the middle, labeled "Pessimist," has a sad expression and text next to it that says "The glass is half-empty."

The figure on the right, labeled "Archaeologist," has a hat and a slightly amused expression. The text next to it states "The glass is ritual." — A simple black and white cartoon drawing.

A stunning #IceAge masterpiece: a big cat (thought to be a snow leopard) carved in mammoth ivory more some 40,000 years ago! Length 8.7 cm, found at the Vogelherd Cave on the Swabian Jura.

#Archaeology

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
