Evidence of neolithic cannibalism among farming communities at El Mirador cave, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Evidence of neolithic cannibalism among farming communities at El Mirador cave, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain

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. 🦴🦴🍗🍖☠️

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.

Good observation. In Atapuerca sites it's not uncommon to see units labeled from top to bottom, particularly when the stratigraphy was first described during excavation, rather than based purely on sedimentological deposition. A non-standard but internally consistent convention.

One manuscript was left in limbo for months after the editor disappeared without notice. In another accepted article, it took me weeks just to get an invoice to pay the APC.

Normally, it wasn't much different from other online journals, but I've had three terrible experiences in a row.

📢 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.

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.

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...
