That’s actually a really interesting question. I have no idea. The only thing I’d add is that the Venus of Brassempuoy is pretty life like. But yeah, why no realistic humans?? 🧐🧐🧐

Hey @stefanmilo.bsky.social @flintdibble.bsky.social this might not quite be in your wheelhouse but why did early man paint animals so well and detailed, but painted people like stick figures? It seems like humans didn’t start to paint semi realistic images of ourselves until much later -

In other news, fruity Cheerios taste soooo DISGUSTING it’s actually astonishing anyone tasted them and thought “yep, that’s the one, that’s going to be popular” (I say this as a long time fan of Cheerios)

Two super interesting papers out today about Neanderthal admixture. Showing it happened less than 49kya. So any modern human remains outside Africa before that date must have belonged to other populations which we presumably don’t descend from??? (I might be wrong though)

shared admixture event with Neandertals to 45-49 ky BP, later than what was previously thought. This finding is further supported by an independent study from our institute, also published today, which used a new method and published data. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (14/n)

This ~2,000-year-old clay tablet has Sumerian and Akkadian words on one side, spelled out in Greek on the other. Such “Graeco-Babyloniaca” texts may tell us scribes who knew Sumerian and Akkadian (both dead languages by this point) were at least experimenting with learning Greek

Photo of a clay tablet that shows the front, back, and sides. The front is very damaged but shows some cuneiform signs along the right side. The back has a break vertically down the middle but shows some clear Greek writing. At the bottom is a photo credit that reads “Photograph by Ivor Kerslake (LMU Munich), copyright The Trustees of the British Museum”

Another population of hominins found in East Asia. It’s getting so complicated out there I can’t keep up. It definitely feels like our labels aren’t accurately representing the complexity of evolution. Are they all distinct groups? Or are they boinking each other?

Welcome Homo juluensis!? It's exciting to have a new human species proposed, but can't help thinking that until we can stare Denisovan anatomy more fully in the face, with genes to match, all bets are off. Maybe we should just say new human population for now? 🦣🏺 phys.org/news/2024-11...
