New Evidence of Prehistoric Cannibalism at Atapuerca 🏺🧪

“This case is particularly striking, not only because of the child’s age, but also due to the precision of the cut marks,” says @palmirasaladie.bsky.social

Según explica Palmira Saladié (@palmirasaladie.bsky.social), a partir del Neolítico, con la llegada de la agricultura, el canibalismo aumenta.

Ancient horse hunts challenge ideas of ‘modern’ human behavior
An archaeological site in Germany suggests communal hunting and complex thinking emerged earlier in human evolution than once thought.

Si crees que hoy los inmigrantes y los okupas son el principal problema, es bastante probable que en los años 30 hubieras pensado que los judíos y los masones eran el principal problema.

🏺 Great write up of this complicated topic.
I'd merely add its *our* perception that treating human bodies in the same way as consumed animal bodies was necessarily an act of violence or disdain, because it assumes that hunting, butchering & eating other creatures is primarily about calories.

New research on Paleolithic cannibalism by @cescmarginedas.bsky.social @palmirasaladie.bsky.social @whiterabbit36.bsky.social & others suggests it was widespread across Europe at the end of the last Ice Age – and that people were probably eating friends and enemies alike. @science.org

1st up we have @palmirasaladie.bsky.social "Prehistoric human cannibalism. The Atapuerca sites examples" - what evidence is needed to confirm #cannibalism? How can we distinguish between processing & consumption? & the different biological & social routes to & reasons for it?
