Europe's oldest blue pigment
Dating back ~13,000 years, it questions the long-held belief that Palaeolithic artists only used red or black and indicates a more vibrant Ice Age world than previously imagined

🚨New paper alert, check it out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social!
Led by @gopesh.bsky.social, we looked at plant wax biomarkers from archaeological contexts with a focus on the Palaeolithic Jwalapuram site.
We show that it is important to integrate source-specific proxies with bulk soil proxies. 🏺🧪

🧪 Maybe it's time for Palaeolithic specialists to team up and write a random paper suggesting #Neanderthals were deeply involved in causing some mysterious astrophysical phenomenon...
Of course, I totally believe that "reopening" the debate by random sciences will certainly deepen our understanding of Neanderthal "extinction" 🤡

Neanderthal extinction: a space physicist reopens the debate
A space physicist has suggested that a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles may have wiped out the Neanderthals.
