So proud to see our new paper out in PNAS spearheaded by @emilypigott.bsky.social She found a tiny 46,000 yr old Neanderthal bone at Starosele (Crimea). DNA work revealed long-distance connections across Eurasia, supported by stone tool evidence @heasvienna.bsky.social

At Monte Clérigo, dated to 78 ± 5 ka, trackways of three individuals demonstrate how Neanderthals navigated dune landscapes.

Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability in southern African Paranthropus
Paranthropus robustus is a morphologically well-documented Early Pleistocene hominin species from southern Africa with no genetic evidence reported so far. In this work, we describe the mass spectrome...
Hello,
Our paper on enamel proteins from Paranthropus robustus has finally been peer reviewed, please have a read here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Paranthropus robustus has been puzzling scientists since its discovery in 1938 in South Africa, where a high number of fossils have been found.

My photo shows a slightly ovoid-shaped tool knapped from rock crystal which has a slighly yellow tinge, mounted for display against a grey background. The tool measures 6 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm. It was recovered from a Mousterian (Neanderthal) level in the Merveilles rockshelter in France during excavations in the 1920s. Six further rock crystal tools were found at the same site.
Something beautiful to start the week!
A rare rock crystal tool made by Neanderthals between 200,000 - 40,000 years ago.
From a Mousterian level at Merveilles rockshelter, Sergeac, Dordogne, France.

Earliest Evidence of Ivory Tool Production Uncovered in Ukrainian Site
Recent discovery reveals 400,000-year-old mammoth ivory tools possibly created as part of skill development or limited resources
A recent study describes 400,000-year-old ivory tools in Ukraine, pushing back the earliest evidence of ivory working by thousands of years. Researchers suggest these may have been "practice tools" for teaching knapping or were created due to limited lithic raw material medium.com/the-academic...
