Oh, look! The New York Times graces us with an "interactive map" 🤦♂️—because what the internet really needed was another way to see how *diverse* Americans pretend to be. Just make sure your #JavaScript is on and ads are off, or it's back to the Stone Age with you! 😂🗺️

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.

Stone Age humans built complex grass beds at Border Cave 200,000 years ago, study finds
Middle Stone Age people living at Border Cave in southern Africa built and maintained plant-based bedding for more than 150,000 years, according to a new microscopic study of the site’s sediments. The research offers one of the clearest views yet of how early humans organized domestic spaces...More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/05/stone-age-humans-built-grass-beds-at-border-cave/

An ancient monument marked the summer solstice centuries before Stonehenge.
Archaeologists have discovered traces of a wooden structure built 5000 years ago, 5 kilometres from Stonehenge, which appears to have been an even older monument for marking the summer solstice.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Researchers traveled to remote #Boé National Park in #GuineaBissau to study accumulative stone throwing, a rare behavior where male western #chimpanzees repeatedly hurl #rocks at specific #trees while calling out and drumming. 🌳
The team used camera traps to gather #data on what these chimpanzees might be communicating, and whether the behavior is a form of #animal #culture. Some sites have been used for over a decade. 🐒

🎩🤡 So, you took an $80 tablet and wasted hours turning it into a "Debian workstation"? Sure, because who doesn't want a pocket-sized toaster that runs Linux at the speed of molasses? 🚀🙄 Your "tech breakthrough" is truly a groundbreaking way to rekindle the Stone Age. 🪨💻

🎲🧐 Wow, breaking news! Apparently, Native Americans were rolling dice before it was cool—12,000 years ago! Meanwhile, NBC News struggles to load on outdated browsers because, you know, the Stone Age and IE 11 are practically the same thing. 🤦♂️✨

'Stone Age' is a very appealing concept to right wingers, because they think that was a time when women welped the younguns and did the chores while men did man stuff.
Also, they all watched the Flintstones religiously. And probably still do.

Did you know that the first recorded case of impacted wisdom teeth resulted in dating a #StoneAge skeleton incorrectly?
We used to think that the coarse #diet of 'cave people' made them have wide jaws with space for wisdom teeth. So, when a skeleton was found in 1911 without them, it was naturally assumed to be a minor.
Modern dentistry, however, revealed that the Magdalenian "girl" was actually an adult. Our diet must have changed as early as 15,000 years ago.
