Our latest paper, analysing the teeth of an early modern human child from Morocco, associated with the Aterian lithic industry, is finally out open access at the AJBA!

Results show affinities with early modern humans despite their very large size, similar to our analysis of the facial fragment of the same individual published in 2022.

If you like thinking and learning about human prehistory, you'll like this interview with geneticist David Reich. Two hours on what research tells us about human origins, how modern humans relate to Neanderthals and Denisovans, ancient DNA, ancient epidemics, admixture, how genetics informs archaeology, and the spread of the Yamnaya from the steppes.

The DNA of 'Thorin,' one of the last Neanderthals, has been sequenced, shedding light on inbreeding and 50,000 years of genetic isolation. This discovery paints a vivid picture of Neanderthal decline, offering new insights into their final days and their legacy in our genome. #Neanderthals #AncientDNA #HumanEvolution

New fossil evidence reveals that Neanderthals cared for a 6-year-old with Down syndrome, challenging stereotypes of these ancient humans. This discovery highlights their capacity for empathy, social bonds, and care for individuals with special needs. A profound reminder of shared humanity across millennia. #Neanderthals #HumanEvolution #Archaeology

Early humans thrived on carbs to develop smarter brains 🌱🧠✨

Forget the paleo myth that meat fuelled human brain development—research shows that carbohydrates played a far more crucial role! Studies reveal:

✅ Early humans consumed starch-rich diets over 100,000 years ago, providing the glucose essential for brain growth.

✅ Genetic evidence of starch digestion dates back 800,000+ years, well before agriculture.

✅ Ancient populations relied heavily on plant-based foods.

The science is clear: plants powered the evolution of human intelligence. 🌱💡
