My 2 cents about Gomolava mass burial in Spanish elpais.com/ciencia/2026...
La fosa común que desvela una matanza de mujeres y niños en la Europa de hace 2.800 años
El análisis forense y genético de decenas de víctimas halladas en Gomolava confirma un caso único de asesinato selectivo en la antigüedad europea

The Bronze Age vs The AI Age 1/ Can archaeology predict the future of Big Tech? Economists usually look back 50-150 years; archaeologists look back further. When you look at the Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1200 BCE), are there any parallels to our current AI trajectory? #AI #TechHistory #Archaeology
We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELB...

We are finding a large amount of plastic debris in the nests of various urban bird species. In fact, we found 94 items in a single nest, a new personal (and sad) record. I hope we can publish the results of this project next year.
I haven’t read the paper yet, but do these birds have similar traits? Nahal Ein Gev II & Gobekli Tepe

Neolithic cannibalism in Spain’s Sierra de Atapuerca. New evidence of cannibalism among farming communities over 5,700 years ago. Victims were locals, not outsiders. Not linked to famine — likely tied to intergroup violence. 📄 Read our study here: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.

My two cents on what communal hunting tells us about human evolution beyond hunting itself. With commentaries by Eugène Morin, Ashley Lemke, Lutz Kindler & Jarod Hutson www.sciencenews.org/article/anci...
Ancient horse hunts challenge ideas of ‘modern’ human behavior
An archaeological site in Germany suggests communal hunting and complex thinking emerged earlier in human evolution than once thought.
