‼️📢 Neandertal as prey‼️ We demonstrated selective cannibalism behavior at the end of the Middle Palaeolithic in Northern Europe #Neandertal #Prehistory #Cannibalism #MiddlePaleolithic #Goyet

Delighted to share the publication of my new article in the Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris! The article is open access — feel free to take a look! -> doi.org/10.4000/153s3 @sapanthropologie.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social @univ-amu.fr

Did Neandertals choose their prey when practicing cannibalism?🍖 Check out our new study, just published in Scientific Reports - @natureportfolio.nature.com! We provide the strongest evidence to date for a highly selective cannibalism at the end of Neandertal lineage, 41-45.000 years ago. 1/7

The IRN Bipedal Equilibrium team is running an international survey on hominin bipedalism. They aim to better understand how scholars think about bipedalism. Perspectives from all fields are welcome! 👉 Here is the survey link: questions.huma-num.fr/v4/s/dv57r1 (10 min) Please share it widely! 🏺🧪🦣

🧪New in the PNAS with @isabellecrevecoeur.bsky.social shorturl.at/JDZYs We report a shell-bead workshop at Saint-Césaire (Fr) and suggest that Châtelperronian makers were influenced by, or part of, an early wave of H. sapiens in the region 42ka @univbordeaux.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social
