I started this project a zillion years ago when I wanted to do a cave art pin set. Since my country is a dumpster fire that's not happening, but I DID finally finish the Megaloceros. #bskynightmarket #paleontology #anthropology #archaeology PaleoPanthera.redbubble.com

A picture advertising the artist's cave art stickers for sale. There is a wild horse inspired by Lascaux cave, a Megaloceros (or Irish elk) inspired by Chauvet cave, and a bison inspired by Altamira cave.

The artist's Redbubble (Where they sell shirts and merch) is written on the page: PaleoPanthera.redbubble.com

Some Stone Age cultures burned their homes and everything inside every 80 years or so, sometimes even entire settlements, only to be rebuilt and destroyed again. What could have driven them to set fire to everything they owned? Maybe disease, or maybe rituals. Which means "ghosts" in anthro nerd

Donkeys and camels, life size! Rock art in Saudi Arabia from around 12,000 years go: "They are the oldest large-scale naturalistic animal art ever found in the Middle East and are among the oldest in the world." #art #rockart #anthropology #archaeology

Nice piece by @katewong.bsky.social @sciam.bsky.social on why we humans aren't as unique as some of us like to think... Great examples here from primates, fish, insects, and more. A nice shout-out to my work on animal grief too. #animals #nature #anthropology #evolution 🧪

I'm fascinated by the generations that pass between the paragraphs of history. For example, Mesolithic foraging cultures coexisted in an uneasy balance with early Neolithic farmers, retreating beyond a buffer of a day's travel. From arm's length they traded, intermarried, and raided for generations.

New research shows the human pelvis didn’t evolve gradually—it flipped its growth pattern 90° and rewired bone formation. These shifts let our ancestors walk upright and birth big-brained babies. #HumanEvolution #Anthropology #Bipedalism

Ancient body art wasn’t fashion — it was identity, power, and story. ✨🗿 Marks that meant something… and still echo today. #Brewminate #History #Anthropology
