Paleolithic humans

Been meaning to make art of early humans for a while and these in particular were greatly inspired by this article:

I went to take a nap and I had a dream about some sort of Paleolithic universe where Vasco was a hunter and Machete was some sort of spiritual guide or chaman? They had this ceremony, Machete absolutely tripped balls after drinking some sort of decoction...... I'm not sure of what he saw but he looked really scared. Or maybe that was just his usual face

In the dream they looked like how you draw them, but I imagine that if this was an actual AU, their features would be far less pronounced and they'd be a bit more wolf-like? Since they'd still have the need for summer and winter coats, very big ears would freeze, super floppy ears could prove to be cumbersome by getting in the way and being prone to getting snagged by the environment, other animals or even their own species (I'm a biology nerd)

I don't remember much of their outfits except for Machete having red ochre accents, and having the sole of his foot painted with it for some reason? Earliest Louboutins. Slay.

It's been hard keeping this under wraps for a minute, haha. I'm doing a pin set with exclusive artwork! The Kickstarter begins next week, but you can follow it here right now!

A fossilized metapodial of an Amphicyon longiramus from Dixie County, Florida, United States. This Miocene aged bear-dog was one of the last of its kind, with the whole clade going extinct at the end of the Miocene.

Experts often explain dog domestication as something that happened because humans realized that they could put dogs to work as hunters or herders, Grandal-d’Anglade said. But the D. avus skeleton at Cañada Seca and other fox burials hint that an animal didn’t need to be a useful worker to be nurtured by humans — it could simply be a friend.

“The proliferation of canids of different species in close relationship with humans seems to indicate that in principle it was a relationship of affection, of companionship,” Grandal-d’Anglade said. “The fact that we find them in so many different societies and on different continents indicates that keeping animals for companionship, and not only as working or meat animals, is an ancestral trait in humans.”

Palaeontologist Mary Anning (1799-1847) was known around the world for her Jurassic discoveries in the fossil beds at Lyme Regis. Her findings changed scientific thinking about prehistoric life yet she was not able to join the Geological Society of London. In her lifetime, her extraordinary finds were rarely published or credited to her, and she was paid little money for them. This portrait of Mary Anne her dog Tray, by Benjamin Donne, a neighbour, is a copy of an 1842 painting.

Paleovember 2023, Amphicyon!

Coming from the Miocene, the members of this genus and it's family are colloquially referred to as 'bear-dogs' due to possessing traits similar to both bears and dogs, whom they were related but not ancestral to. This was a widespread genus, ranging across Europe Africa, Asia, and North America, with the largest species, A. ingens, growing up to the size of a polar bear. These were adaptable and generalist hunters, able to subsist on a wide range of foods. This initially allowed amphicyonids to outcompete an earlier group of predators, the hyaenodonts. Ironically, though, this jack-of-all-trades approach failed with the arrival of modern, more specialized carnivoran groups, including cats, dogs, bears, and hyenas.
