    Alte DNA an Höhlenwänden nachgewiesen

    #^Alte DNA an Höhlenwänden nachgewiesen

    Menschliche DNA kann Jahrtausende an Höhlenwänden überdauern und gibt Einblicke in prähistorische menschliche Aktivitäten - auch ohne Ausgrabungen
    | Ein Forschungsteam hat erstmals nachgewiesen, dass alte menschliche DNA über Tausende von Jahren an Höhlenwänden erhalten bleiben kann. Dadurch eröffnen sich neue Möglichkeiten, prähistorische menschliche Aktivitäten zu erforschen.

  5. Rock Art on Screen: 12 Free Documentaries That Bring the Painted Past to Life

    By Seth Chagi for World of Paleoanthropology

    “We carry the torch of ancient storytellers each time we switch on a screen.” — Stoic reflection after too many late‑night documentary binges

    Rock art feels simultaneously intimate and cosmic—handprints that whisper I was here across 30,000 years. The internet, bless its algorithmic heart, is brimming with free films that let us wander those caves and escarpments without the knee‑scrapes, bat guano, or UNESCO paperwork. Below are a dozen feature‑length (20 min +) documentaries your audience can stream today. I’ve grouped them by theme and noted what each one can teach us. Pop some popcorn (or Aquafor‑coated trail mix if you’re truly hardcore) and prepare to time‑travel.

    1. Deep Time Immersion

    TitleRuntimePlatformWhy Watch“Cave of Forgotten Dreams”89 minWatchDocumentaries.comWerner Herzog’s 3‑D glide through Chauvet (32 kya) is as close as most of us will get to those charcoal lions. Perfect for discussing preservation ethics, pigment chemistry, and the phenomenology of darkness.“Inside France’s Chauvet Cave” (DW Documentary)52 minYouTubeA more traditional science‑journalist tour that balances visuals with up‑to‑date uranium‑thorium dating and virtual‑reality replication work. Great classroom fodder on 3‑D scanning.

    2. Rock Art & Global Narratives

    TitleRuntimePlatformWhy Watch“Les secrets des fresques d’Amazonie”88 minARTE.tvTakes viewers into Colombia’s Serranía de la Lindosa cliff murals—tens of thousands of figures dated ≥12 kya—while foregrounding Indigenous perspectives and environmental stakes.“Oldest Cave Art Found in Sulawesi”24 minYouTube (Griffith Univ.)Concise but rich breakdown of the 45 kya pig panel & new 51 kya hunting scene; use it to spark debates on symbolic cognition outside Europe.“KIMBERLEY ROCK ART: A World Treasure”45 minYouTubeExplores Australia’s Gwion Gwion & Wandjina iconography, weaving in modern Aboriginal custodianship and cutting‑edge optically stimulated luminescence dating.“The Rock Art of Arnhem Land” (Part I)26 minYouTubeVeteran archaeologist Paul Taçon walks viewers through x‑ray kangaroos and Lightning Man motifs; ideal primer on superimposition sequences.

    3. Mediterranean & Atlantic Europe

    TitleRuntimePlatformWhy Watch“Rock‑Art Sites of Tadrart Acacus” (UNESCO/NHK)28 minUNESCO.orgSahara pastoralism in motion—perfect for stressing how climate shifts shaped iconographic changes.“Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin”28 minYouTube (UNESCO)Surveys 758 Iberian sites; includes rare footage of Levantine‑style hunters in eastern Spain. Good segue into discussions of pigment sourcing.“Prehistoric Rock Art of the Côa Valley & Siega Verde”30 minUNESCO.orgNight‑shot filming of open‑air engravings (≈25 kya onward) highlights why Foz Côa is a conservation victory.“Exploring the Ancient Art of Altamira”24 minYouTubeA guided VR‑style tour of Spain’s “Sistine Chapel of the Palaeolithic,” complete with replica cave construction details—great for public‑engagement case studies.

    4. Decoding Symbolic Systems

    TitleRuntimePlatformWhy Watch“How Art Made the World – Ep 2: The Day Pictures Were Born”59 minYouTube (BBC series)Frames cave art within a cognitive‑evolution story: why image‑making matters for social cohesion.**“Paleo Cave Art Mysteries” (Episode 1 of 3)22 minYouTube**Paleoanthropologist Neil Bockoven dives into dot‑and‑line signs (à la von Petzinger) and therianthropes; a bite‑sized springboard for symbol taxonomy exercises.

    How to Use This Playlist – (of course, you could just be like me and want to watch them, but here are some fun activities for those of you who may be teachers, professors, and the like for your students to better engage with the content):

    1. Chronological Viewing Party: Start with Acacus for Holocene climate context, swing through European Upper Palaeolithic masterpieces, then finish in the Amazon to spotlight New World debates.
    2. Data‑Extraction Exercise: Have students log motifs, substrates, and dating techniques in a shared Zotero group to spot regional patterns.
    3. Compare Custodianship Models: Contrast Indigenous‑led management in Australia with state oversight in France and Spain—fertile ground for ethical discussions.
    4. DIY Experimental Archaeology: After watching the Altamira VR segment, try recreating blowing techniques with ochre and charcoal on butcher paper (outdoors, trust me).

    Remember: every dash of ochre, every engraved aurochs, is a dialogue across millennia. Hit play, listen closely, and pass the story on.

  6. Altamira – delayed boosting

    Last week, Seth Larson published some ideas about being smart when "boosting", which is Mastodon's term for reblogging content and thus making it visible to your own followers. The original article can be found here, but my key takeaways are the following: Considering a single account, it is preferable for boosts performed by this account to be spread out over time. If they aren't, they will only happen when the account owner is currently active, and thus likely won't reach other users in other timezones. The boosts will also be clustered in everyone's timeline - and no one wants to see a dozen boosts by the same person in a row. Considering a single piece of content that gets boosted, it is again preferable if not all of its boosts happen at the same time but over the course of a day or two, so that it might reach a bigger audience, and reactions such as replies get spread out a bit as well. Seth's suggestion is to implement functionality in Mastodon clients to boost eventually instead of immediately - and I couldn't help picking up that idea for the app I'm experimenting with. […]

  7. Altamira – a Mastodon companion app

    Whenever I participated on social media platforms in the past, key functionality seemed to be unavailable. In some cases, functionality I consider to be important just might not be that useful for most other people - but in other cases, functionality that is useful would actually be detrimental to some bottom line the company considers more important than its users, and thus doesn't get implemented. As just one example, I consider it to be useful for the accounts I follow, as well as those that follow me, to be checked for their activity regularly, and unfollowed automatically if they are indeed inactive - because talking into a void just isn't fun. Follower counts are an important metric for influencer-type people and the platforms that want to attract and host them, which likely is why, as far as I am aware, none of the commercial platforms offer this functionality. […]

    Vamos, que es una especie #invasora.
