As it turns out, humans have always been interested in the nicer things in life. Little trinkets, jewelry, pretty and interesting-looking rocks, all of these have been found in archeological digs.

The eastern “panhandle” of the kingdom of Jordan is partly covered by a vast and rugged lava desert, the Harrat, covering about 11.400 km2 (Fig. 1). Scoured by wind in winter and scorched dry by the sun in summer, the surface is covered by black basalt stones, making this area seem as uninviting, hostile and inaccessible as is imaginable.

Cette fête-là est tout aussi ludique mais non moins physique. Elle se déroule samedi, à Saint-Just, épicentre de la terre des mégalithes, où l’on célèbre, en même temps, les 10 ans du CPIE Val de Vilaine. Toute la journée, les activités seront préhistoriques. Tracter et soulever des menhirs, fabriquer des bijoux, des instruments de musique, ou une pirogue à la manière des ancêtres. C’est drôle, parfois sportif, mais aussi très instructif. Au CPIE on assure même que les hommes du néolithique ont beaucoup à nous apprendre sur nous et sur notre futur… Gratuit. Delete the scoop?

Heritage Malta surprised guests at the Malta Fashion Week with an exhibition entitled 'Jewellery through the times' showing that Malta's first residents were not the aggressive, dirty individuals with unkempt hair which most imagine them to have been. The exhibition was followed by a fashion show of replica prehistoric jewellery, which preceded the main highlight: changing the misconception related to the image of prehistoric people by means of a unique reconstruction.

L'étude publiée dans la revue "Nature communications" indique que les populations associées à la culture campaniforme pourraient détenir la clef du changement soudain d'ADN des Européens. 
Esther Valhöll's comment,

Est-ce que c'est compatible avec l'origine ibérique des Campaniformes ? Est-ce que ça peut avoir un lien avec l'indo-européen ?
Lemercier Olivier's comment,
May 15, 3:24 AM
Pour le moment c'est compatible avec l'idée de déplacements d'individus, de groupes ou de populations... Mais je m'en doutais un peu, d'autres études vont dans le même sens... Concernant ensuite, l'origine et le sens des circulations, c'est un autre débat. Il faut continuer à travailler. Et faire des analyses sur des échantillons beaucoup plus importants.

Plus difficiles à interpréter sont ces fosses profondes, à profil étroit, dites fosses en Y, mises au jour en assez grandes quantités, qui pourraient dater du Néolithique et pourraient être des pièges de chasse puisqu'on y retrouve des squelettes complets d'animaux sauvages dont un aurochs.

The search for ever deeper relationships among the World’s languages is bedeviled by the fact that most words evolve too rapidly to preserve evidence of their ancestry beyond 5,000 to 9,000 y. On the other hand, quantitative modeling indicates that some “ultraconserved” words exist that might be used to find evidence for deep linguistic relationships beyond that time barrier. Here we use a statistical model, which takes into account the frequency with which words are used in common everyday speech, to predict the existence of a set of such highly conserved words among seven language families of Eurasia postulated to form a linguistic superfamily that evolved from a common ancestor around 15,000 y ago. We derive a dated phylogenetic tree of this proposed superfamily with a time-depth of ∼14,450 y, implying that some frequently used words have been retained in related forms since the end of the last ice age. Words used more than once per 1,000 in everyday speech were 7- to 10-times more likely to show deep ancestry on this tree. Our results suggest a remarkable fidelity in the transmission of some words and give theoretical justification to the search for features of language that might be preserved across wide spans of time and geography.
