There were many skeletal remains in a cave, in the kind of shape you&#8217;d expect if they had crawled into the cave and died there, not much disturbed.

					<description><![CDATA[I have often made the argument that religiosity, a personal belief in god, spirits, the supernatural, etc., would emerge in human societies on its own if it wasn&#8217;t there already. Imagine taking an entire generation of people in a geographically isolated region, and wiping out their memory of religion, and also, removing all references to &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2016/02/15/why-i-would-believe-in-god-if-i-wasnt-an-atheist/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Why I would believe in God if I wasn&#8217;t an atheist.</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Years ago I proposed a theory (not anywhere in print, just in seminars and talks) that went roughly like this. Humans hunt. Dogs hunt. Prey animals get hunted. Each species (or set of species) has a number of characteristics such as the ability to stalk, track, kill, run away, form herds, etc. Now imagine a &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2015/11/13/how-dogs-won-the-world/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">How Dogs Won The World</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is a new paper in Science linking genetic variation in people living in Greenland with long term selection for managing a marine-oriented diet, affecting stature, weight, and probably, physiological processing of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The vast majority of the variation we seen in stature (height) among humans is not genetic.

Simply put, it is the lower right jaw of a hominid (hominine) that most resembles either a form of Homo erectus or Archaic Homo sapiens (kin to, but not, Neanderthal).
