  6. Ancient Finnish graves reveal how ochre signaled identity and social networks

    About 5,500 to 6,000 years ago, hunter-fisher-gatherers lived across what is now Finland. These communities, known to archaeologists as the Typical Comb Ware culture, built semi-subterranean houses, traveled along waterways, and relied on fishing, hunting, and small-scale plant use. They...

  13. Hunter-gatherers made this?! 🤯🤔

    What really puzzles me is the disbelief that hunter-gatherers somehow could be capable of cultural achievements.

    Does this come from an outdated idea equalling #HunterGatherer with #primitive?

    🧵 A fundmental misunderstanding ...

  18. Forget the #paleodiet fad – study shows #cavemen dined on #plants
    Our #huntergatherer ancestors ate more #vegetables than meat.
    Analysis of bones and teeth found in a cave in Morocco that was inhabited about 15,000 years ago revealed the #StoneAge #diet “unequivocally” had a plant-based aspect. Acorns, pine nuts and wild pulses made up a “significant” part of #paleo diet of the prehistoric community.

  20. "The anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday extensively studied gender dynamics in indigenous societies for her classic text, "Female Power and Male Dominance: On the Origins of Sexual Inequality". Analysing ethnographic data from over 150 cultures, Sanday found the majority of early #huntergatherer bands were oriented around principles of gender #equality or #complementarity rather than #patriarchy."
