Vorige Woche hat Michaela Ecker, Archäologin an der @kieluni, gemeinsam mit Kollegïnnen des @cnrs (Frankreich), der University of Botswana und der @uniheidelberg ihre Forschungen in Botswanas Hauptstadt Gaborone vorgestellt. Eingeladen hatten die Botschafterinnen Deutschlands und Frankreichs. Die Präsentation war der Abschluss einer mehr als dreiwöchigen Forschungskampagne in Botswana, in der es unter anderem um Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen vor rund 100.000 Jahren ging.

Happy #FossilFriday! 🐴🐘🐪💀 This gorgeous horse mandible comes from Brown County, Minnesota. It was collected by a friend of mine under permit in a state park earlier this year. The bone is deceptively heavy, suggesting it has been partially mineralized. Today, it will be donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota for study.

Ancient lakes in the Gobi Desert supported human life 8,000 years ago

The Gobi Desert today is one of the driest and harshest landscapes on Earth, stretching over northern China and Mongolia. Yet, a recent study published in PLOS One reveals that thousands of years ago, the desert was dotted with wetlands and lakes that nourished fertile ground for human life...

A study of 50,000 houses from the late Pleistocene to the onset of European colonialism has revealed that social inequality isn't inevitable, but rather a consequence of political choices.
I mean, like, obviously.
