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

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.
