New episode! 🦴 We sit down with Dr. Brian Villmoare to unpack a new Australopithecus identified from… teeth. Yep—dentition as the smoking gun. Watch here: youtu.be/ex6kMP-wsjI?...

Yesterday (10/09/25) was European Rock Art Day! I wanted to post this little video showing some examples of the fascinating work across Europe, but the internet goblins were preventing me until today!

I’d love to hear what pieces of rock art have inspired you?!

From mammoth feasts to reindeer seasons to horse drives—humans hunted smart. At Schöningen (~300k yrs), wooden spears + teamwork targeted horse family groups. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39357283/ #PaleoPost #HumanOrigins #FossilFriday

Fire turned night into thinking time. Early Acheulean evidence at Wonderwerk Cave (~1.0 Ma) shows controlled burning—ash + charred bone in situ. Read Berna et al., 2012 (PNAS): www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #PaleoPost #HumanOrigins

Play made innovators. Kids in Paleolithic camps tinkered with mini tools, seeding new ideas. Read Riede et al. (2018) on object play & innovation: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #PaleoPost #HumanOrigins

Have you caught the most recent episode of the #PaleoPostPodcast? We had special guest Dr. Villmoare of the Uni of Nev at Reno!

We discuss the amazing find the team he and his colleagues from ASU led, leading to the discovery of a new Au. species!

Hear the story-

Ah, this is one of the larger territories in the country, but it’s a small country haha. There is a very large province in China that was founded by the Portuguese actually; and to this day the two nations have strong ties!

Anta da Foz do Rio Frio, Mação: Neolithic dolmen (c. 4th–3rd millennium BCE). Granite orthostats framed a chamber and corridor for collective burial and ritual. Partly collapsed, it still anchors the valley. #PaleoPost #HumanOrigins #Megaliths #Portugal #DeepHistory

Archeoaccoustics is a fascinating field I am dabbling in, with some colleagues.

Imagine - it’s not just a simple act of pigment on wall, it’s a whole surreal experience: Cave Art wasn’t just about what we could see!

Ever wonder how ancient artists made those negative handprints on cave walls? Step back tens of thousands of years and see the process unfold — pigment, breath, and human touch combining in one timeless act of expression. Watch history come alive: youtube.com/shorts/_AdfQ...
