#ESHE2025
Katerina Harvati ‘Middle Pleistocene funerary ritual at Apidima? An examination of evidence’
2 homs– 2 dates: Ap2: >170 ka (NEA), Ap1 >210 ka (early H sapiens).
Could it be mortuary ritual instead (Otte 2020)?! NO.
Analysis of tapho, homs in fissure! no pebbles, no pigments 😀

Majid Aljaber Abo Fakher ‘A strictly modern human trait? Tracing hypoconulid in first molars and its evolutionary implications’
No LM1s hypoconulid: +% in WEurasia, India
ALL earlier homs have it – except: H floresiensis (but Matamenge has it!); earliest absence in W Eurasia: Ksar Akil
