The quest for life is amazing. Where do we come from, where are we now, where are we going...
Do we have all the answers to those questions? No....we don't.

Another #GenderRoles presumption in #archaeology bites the dust! 💥🇪🇸
→ In the mega-site of Valencina (Seville, SW #Spain), dated from the Copper Age, analyses to the remains of the most socially prominent person revealed that is a female (and not a man as previously thought). 🚺👑 #paleoanthropology
→ This female is nicknamed “the Ivory Lady.”
→ Analysis of sexually dimorphic amelogenin peptides in tooth enamel. 🧪🦷 #science
→ In the #openaccess article check the burial (in a tholos) and its fantastic context and artifacts.

#NYTimes recently addressed the question of early humans #cannibalism and how some researchers are reacting to it... 💀🔪
In all, it seems to me that Pobiner et al. (2023) adressed the subject quite well in their article (in Nature). Clarifiying: I'm definitely on the side of "we need good evidences to ancor valid interpretations" (context, cutmarks characteristics, amount, etc), but based on their observations I would not put aside the possibility of early humans' cannibalism (±1.45 million yrs; probably Homo erectus) just because no other evidences are known for this timeframe.
#Science is made of hypotheses to be confirmed or denied. I'd put this one in the science jar, for sure. TBC, of course. 🤓
