Technology and taphonomy of the Middle Paleolithic assemblage from the Uzun Mera site in Macedonia
The open-air site of Uzun Mera in eastern North Macedonia provides new insights into Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal behavior and site formation processes in the understudied Balkan Peninsula. Discovered in 2017, the site spans over 1.5 km2 and contains lithic artefacts affected by both cultural and post-depositional processes. Technological analysis of 33 selected artefacts reveals a Middle Paleolithic industry featuring opportunistic, Levallois,…
The theory that men evolved to hunt and women evolved to gather is wrong
Based on evidence from exercise physiology and archaeology, Ocobock and Lacy explain the important roles estrogen plays in endurance activities, such as ultramarathons and ancient hunting practices, as well as how we can learn from skeletal remains about what activities Neanderthals and other Pleistocene humans engaged in. Ocobock and Lacy firmly situate the “man the hunter” theory in its historical context, explaining some of the social landscap…
Response to “Can women hunt? Yes, did women contribute much to human evolution through endurance hunting? Probably not
The Physiological Evidence" (Ocobock & Lacy, 2024).We are grateful for the expertise each author brings to the conversation and recognize the important contributions they have made to the field of biological anthropology and reproductive behavioral ecology, in particular.We believe many of the concerns voiced by Martin and colleagues would be alleviated when "Woman the Hunter: The Physiological Evidence" is taken in conjunction with "Woman the Hu…
Woman the hunter
Myths of "Man the Hunter" and male biological superiority persist in interpretations and reconstructions of human evolution. Although there are uncontroversial average biological differences between females and males, the potential physiological advantages females may possess are less well-known and less well-studied. Here we review and present emerging physiological evidence that females may be metabolically better suited for endurance activitie…
Woman the hunter
The Paleo-fantasy of a deep history to a sexual division of labor, often described as "Man the Hunter and Woman the Gatherer," continues to dominate the literature. We see it used as the default hypothesis in anatomical and physiological reconstructions of the past as well as studies of modern people evoking evolutionary explanations. However, the idea of a strict sexual labor division in the Paleolithic is an assumption with little supporting ev…
Evidence of dental agenesis in late pleistocene Homo
OBJECTIVE: Differential diagnosis and tabulation of cases of dental agenesis in Middle and Upper Paleolithic Western Eurasian humans to synthesize this data and to test previous hypotheses about when recent human patterns of third molar agenesis were established. MATERIALS: 139 Late Pleistocene human remains and 149 individuals from three Epi-Paleolithic/ Holocene non-agricultural comparative collections. METHODS: All remains were visually and ra…
Between a rock and a cold place
A large body of work focuses on the unique aspects of Neanderthal anatomy, inferred physiology, and behavior to test the assumption that Neanderthals were hyper‐adapted to living in cold environments. This research has expanded over the years to include previously unexplored and potentially adaptive features such as brown adipose tissue and fire‐usage. Here we review the current state of knowledge of Neanderthal cold adaptations along morphologic…

Newly Recognized Human Dental Remains at Les Fadets (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne, France)
Archeological research at the site of Les Fadets in the town of Lussac-les-Châteaux (Department of Vienne, France) has a 150-year history; however, comprehensive descriptions of the results of its various excavations are mostly unknown. Here we present previously unrecognized human dental remains discovered among the curated faunal remains in the context of the history of research at Les Fadets, with a focus on the Upper Paleolithic occupations o…
(Re)Politicizing The Anthropologist In The Age Of Neoliberalism And #Blacklivesmatter
In the larger context of overwhelming student loans and the decline of tenure, universities are now commonly dealing with racial protests. Beyond contributing service to what Sara Ahmed describes as the “non-performativity” of diversity statements, scholars are expected to follow the precedent set by university administration, which is usually one of silence and denial punctuated by vociferous apology through targeted resignations post-incident. …
The oral pathological conditions of the Broken Hill (Kabwe) 1 cranium
The Foramina Transversaria of The Sunghir 2 and 3 Cervical Vertebrae
The Mid Upper Paleolithic immature Sunghir 2 and 3 skeletal remains exhibit non-closure and doubling of several of their cervical vertebral foramina transversaria. Both exhibit non-closure of the atlas (C1) foramina. Sunghir 3 also exhibits foraminal non-closure in her C4 to C5. Sunghir 2 has doubling of the foramen on C4 and C6, whereas Sunghir 3 has it on C4 to C6. The anatomical distribution of these variants places Sunghir 2 and 3 at the limi…
