❄️Curious about the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and its impact on southern Africa's climates, environments, and human evolution? Our new #Quaternary Science Reviews paper (tinyurl.com/mwcfh948) sheds light on this icy chapter at #Boomplaas Cave

Did Neanderthals use glue? @nyuanthro and @uni_tue researchers found evidence of a multi-component adhesive in stone tools that suggests a higher level of cognition and cultural development than previously thought.

Our new paper shows how neuroplasticity enables bio‑cultural feedback in Paleolithic stone‑tool making (nature.com/articles/s41598-0…). Results show that technical skill acquisition can produce structural brain changes conducive to the discovery and acquisition of additional skills.

CSHO faculty Shara Bailey is part of the research team that published in Science on the oldest Oldowan tools found at a site called Nyayanga, Kenya. They were associated with Paranthropus teeth, suggesting that Paranthropus potentially used them: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

How do individual differences in strength, accuracy & cognition impact knapping skill acquisition in different information transmission conditions? In a new study, we trained 23 individuals for 2 hours to knap by observation only/direct active teaching.
