#huntergatherers — Public Fediverse posts

What is the #natural #daily #activitypattern of #Homo #sapiens? And what role does our #social way of #life play in this? Through a comparative study of #primates and extant #human #huntergatherers, D. R. Samson (2026) reconstructs that humans originally led a #cathemeral #lifestyle, meaning they engaged in flexible #sleeppatterns.

Time for our #introduction !
We are a group of researchers in #archaeology at #CambridgeUniversity (something called #CDAL ). We are challenging scientists from every fields & every level to infer what happened in an artificial world where a group of #Farmers replaced a group of #HunterGatherers . Its a game, open to anyone, using any #inference method as long as we can re-run the analysis ourself ( #OpenSource tools only, we won't pay a matlab licence to re-run your code 🙃 )
