Pigments and shells with drilled holes to be used as beads found with Châtelperronian stone tools in France suggest humans—or Neanderthals—were decorating themselves in the Middle Paleolithic, just as Homo sapiens were moving into Eurasia. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.
She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.

Plus envie d'argumenter, plus envie de documenter. Tout est là, sous nos yeux. Mais comment faire prendre conscience de ce qu'est une famine?

📣 L’archéologie préventive sacrifiée au nom de l’agriculture intensive
Le mardi 8 juillet, l’Assemblée nationale n’a pas pris en compte l’amendement n°2243 de la loi Duplomb, qui visait à exclure l’archéologie préventive du régime contentieux dérogatoire de la nouvelle loi d’orientation agricole.

🛑 NON à l’affaiblissement de l’archéologie préventive !
La nouvelle loi d’orientation agricole (LOA), adoptée en mars 2025, prévoit un régime juridique spécial (article 44) pour accélérer les projets agricoles controversés : méga-bassines, élevages industriels, etc.
