[ancientorigins]

Some of the earliest Europeans were a race of Homo sapiens called Cro Magnon. They were bigger than us and lived hard lives, with their fossils often showing signs of trauma.

Cro-magnon Man

Aren't you tired of those sad scientific reconstructions of early man with sickly bodies and gangly hair? These are based on prompts for a more handsome, muscular early man.

Incidentally, seems I can't type "cro" without my computer auto correcting it to "bro". So maybe these are images of bro-magnon man.

Cro-Magnon garbage heaps yield not only stone tools but also tools of bone, whose suitability for shaping (for instance, into fishhooks) had apparently gone unrecognized by previous humans.

the original art from the label for Macken Bryggeri brew, Cro-Magnon. As carved and painted by Jonathan Hultén on a stone at the foot of a mountain, by a lake in Arvika, Sweden

The fine prints (🔥):

"The colour scheme resulted from the exploration of distinct natural colorants such as own grown raspberries, red currants and black currants as well as mud from the stream by Jonathan’s house in Arvika, soil-clay, charcoal and burnt soil from bonfires"

La semaine dernière, j'ai retrouvé mes amis Julien et Katie à Remoulins dans le Gard (Languedoc). On est allés à Vallon-Pont-d'Arc (Ardèche) visite la réplique de la fameuse Grotte Chauvet dont les peinture rupestres datent de l'aurignacien.

Après la grotte, une galerie où sont restitués les êtres vivants dans les steppes de la région, pendant l'Aurignacien : alternés, voici Homo sapiens, Megaloceros giganteus (le Mégacéros) et Ursus spelaeus (l'Ours des Cavernes)

No Time To Waste.

When procrastination was dangerous.

[ancientorigins]

Buried for millennia in the rear of a rock-shelter in the Lapedo Valley 85 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal, archaeologists uncovered the bones of a four-year-old child, comprising the first complete Palaeolithic skeleton ever dug in Iberia. But the significance of the discovery was far greater than this because analysis of the bones revealed that the child had the chin and lower arms of a human, but the jaw and build of a Neanderthal, suggesting that he was a hybrid, the result of interbreeding between the two species.

One vastly underrated aspect of country life is that it can often be (mostly) clothing-optional. If I suddenly have to chase deer out of the orchard I can just slip into my garden sandals and run out the door. Unless it's especially cold out I don't need to waste time putting on clothes.

A while back we pruned some especially straight-limbed ornamental trees and I've stripped some of those limbs to use for garden stakes. Once, having spied trouble through the bathroom window as I exited the shower, I unconsciously grabbed a long one on my way to chase a young buck away from the apple trees. Maybe it's the mitochondrial DNA talking but chasing a deer on foot, sharp stick in hand and unrestrained dong flapping, just feels right.
