🧪🏺🦣 Strong case for *oldest fire-starting* 🔥 capacity, before 400 Ka, suggested by multi-stranded analysis: geochem, magnetic, sedimentary evidence of anthropogenic burning, + heated lithics + remains of iron pyrite. Behaviourally heading towards #Neanderthals. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fieldwork day to Creswell Crags as part of our new project "Fire & Climate: Speleothems and the British Palaeolithic" funded by @britishacademy.bsky.social with Rob Hosfield & Sam Nicholson #soot #fire #aDNA
