Studies of 125 skeletons across several cemeteries in Hungary have found that while the majority of people were buried according to their gender, some defied the norm. Men, for example, were typically buried on their right side surrounded by polished stone tools.

Extinction of larger animals led to the human brain doubling in size around 30,000 years ago

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The extinction of large animals led to the human brain growing, a new study reveals. When humans first emerged in Africa 2.6 million years ago the average animal size was more than 1,000 pounds, making them easy prey. Throughout the Pleistocene era, creatures' sizes decreased by 90 percent, which forced our ancient ancestors to developing cunning and bold methods to capture their next meal. As they shifted to hunting small, swift prey animals, humans developed higher cognitive abilities and experienced a growth of brain volume from 650cc to 1,500cc. When humans first emerged in Africa 2.6 million years ago the average animal size was more than 1,000 pounds, making them easy prey Previous research shows that early humans survived by hunting large game, which provided them with the necessary fat and sources of energy to survive.


Study makes musical link to evolution of stone age tools

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Piano players may have more in common with a caveman than you might think, if the latest scientific findings are to be believed. Experts have previously argued that the evolution of language in our early ancestors led to advances stone age tools. But new research suggests that developments in areas of the brain used when we master musical instruments are responsible. Researchers from The University of East Anglia have been examining a'revolutionary' step forward in stone tool crafting around 1.75 million years ago. Around 1.75 million years ago, early humans moved from making simple tools from rocks and pebbles to producing two-sided, shaped tools like axes and cleavers. Researchers from the University of East Anglia wanted to better understand the link between brain development and the cognitive abilities behind creating these tools.
