New research from Ukraine reveals Ice Age hearths showing advanced fire use, suggesting seasonal adaptation and skilled fuel management by early European hunter-gatherers during a time of scarce evidence.
The path is both one and many, as the trunk of a tree spreads out into numerous branches that stretch in all directions, so that one may follow the lore into countless byways and alleys ripe with mysteries.

I am descended from people who the state punished for worshipping in their own way (same god even-how unjust!) and who were punished for playing cards on Sunday.
Like my #ancestors, I am no fan of #theocracy.
Stop #ChristianNationalism . It’s a toxic life sucking cancer.
Until you realize a medieval #peasant had more free time then the average American #worker.

The average US/EU worker has less vacation #time than a medieval peasant, and they had security of tenure “The tempo of #life was slow, even leisurely; the pace of #work relaxed. Our #ancestors may not have been rich, but they had an abundance of leisure.”
... The Church, mindful of how to keep a population from rebelling, enforced frequent mandatory holidays. Weddings, wakes...
“Systematic bone tool production at 1.5 million years ago” (1) Nature paper 
“Over a million years ago, #Ancient #Human #ancestors sat down to shave flakes off bones, producing a tool with a carefully created sharp edge. …Their discovery, published today in #Nature, pushes back the age of a large bone tool kit by more than a million years.” — ABC story.

Hey? I follow the Auschwitz Memorial account. It's really, really hard. There are so many important reasons to follow that account. For me, my entire maternal line were Jews from the boarder region between Germany and Poland before WW2. I've done my best to trace their heritage. They are gone. No records. Very few survivors to note. An entire portion of my family utterly wiped from existence. I know there are better resources out there and I need to reach out. Just kinda sharing my experiences. Anyway, one reason to follow that account. Never forget. #Holocaust #Ancestors
#US #Americans , when considering #support for #Europe remember your #roots . Remember your #ancestors . For most of you it’s your #DNA . #Embrace it . And remember you are always welcome here!
60 years of cold war, millions of soldiers died and Trump ended it by giving up the US to Russia. I wonder where the American #Patriots are?
Now they say this is what #voters wanted, Really? Betray your #ancestors, betrayal of your own country, betrayal of friends like #Canada and #Europe?
I hope #Americans come to senses soon.
It is not money that makes the world go round. And if it is, you will be in problems soon.
