@oden-gjallarhornet.bsky.socialAncient Hole in #Neanderthal Shoulder Blade May Be The Oldest Spear Attack Ever Discovered
@oden-gjallarhornet.bsky.socialWas #Neanderthal life violent? This wound suggests lethal fighting was more common
@lemoustier.bsky.social🏺🦣 Coincident with the Shanidar #Neanderthal research, just discovered someone put a film of the entire hour performance of an INCREDIBLE musical composition by Simon Thorne, originally created for National Museum of Wales exhibition.

@newsanalysis.comNeanderthal shoulder bone shows healed wound from ancient wooden spear, suggesting evidence of early hunting or conflict. Analysis of skeletal remains reveals patterns of injuries consistent with deliberate weapon use. #Neanderthal #News

A deep dive coming soon!

@gabrieleru1.bsky.socialFascinating! A 75,000-year-old #Neanderthal scapula with a puncture wound. Perhaps, one of the oldest #MurderMystery we'll never know about it!
However, suggesting a spear can make the hole doesn’t mean one did 🤔 I wonder why the authors didn't consider if horn or antler could do it too 🐮🫎
@dlausactor6373.northsky.socialThe same kind of man who says “Look what you made me do!” after beating his wife and kids. The same kind of man who responds to #DeadMenDon’tRape with “Dead women don’t say no.” The same kind of #Neanderthal whose genes are present in all men. Take it from a man; yes, it is, in fact, ALL MEN.
@lemoustier.bsky.social👀 Look out for cool new #Neanderthal research coming today...

@lemoustier.bsky.social🏺 🦬 Coudoulous is a v cool #Neanderthal site in SW France, a natural pitfall that they seem to have taken advantage of to hunt bison. New usewear on the quartz & quartzite lithics finds butchery, wood and dry hide working, but also suggests some pieces were spear tips.

DNA analysis confirms that the arrival of farmers led to the complete disappearance of the local population in a short time. The study, published in Nature, is based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth from prehistoric people in Denmark.
