Pretty exciting record of #ochre (red/orange) close to #burials of #Levant #MiddlePalaeolithic at #Tinshemet
These are human populations contemporary to #Skhul and #Qafzeh and we need more on the #fossils -- any H s/Nean admixing, cultural and genetic?
NatureEvidence from Tinshemet Cave in Israel suggests behavioural uniformity across Homo groups in the Levantine mid-Middle Palaeolithic circa 130,000–80,000 years ago - Nature Human BehaviourThe Middle Palaeolithic of southwest Asia witnessed interactions and knowledge sharing between archaic and modern humans ~130,000–80,000 years ago. These interactions led to increased behavioural complexity and consolidation of a uniform behavioural set across Homo groups in the region.
