The Bronze Age vs The AI Age
1/ Can archaeology predict the future of Big Tech?

Economists usually look back 50-150 years; archaeologists look back further.
When you look at the Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1200 BCE), are there any parallels to our current AI trajectory?

Hallazgo de los restos de un Bisonte en Urbasa YouTube video by Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua

We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula

Wild European bison can thrive in a wide variety of landscapes - including human-dominated ones.

Happy to share the new virtual collection of comparative anatomy, SKELETONS ONLINE (cor.iphes.cat).

The specimens come from the comparative anatomy collection of @iphes-cerca.bsky.social , in Tarragona (Spain).

Please, use it and share!!!

Mañana estaremos en Sevilla para participar en el congreso internacional sobre el lince ibérico organizado por #LIFEProject Life LynxConnect. Tenemos una sesión sobre los origenes del lince iberico. Mas info: lifelynxconnect.eu/congreso-int...

We are finding a large amount of plastic debris in the nests of various urban bird species. In fact, we found 94 items in a single nest, a new personal (and sad) record. I hope we can publish the results of this project next year.

Mi comentario va más por la similitud estilística que por el ave/especie en sí, que identificarla con lo que hay ya me parece bastante pro.

I haven’t read the paper yet, but do these birds have similar traits? Nahal Ein Gev II & Gobekli Tepe

Evidence of neolithic cannibalism among farming communities at El Mirador cave, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Evidence of neolithic cannibalism among farming communities at El Mirador cave, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain

Neolithic cannibalism in Spain’s Sierra de Atapuerca. New evidence of cannibalism among farming communities over 5,700 years ago. Victims were locals, not outsiders. Not linked to famine — likely tied to intergroup violence.

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.

Good observation. In Atapuerca sites it's not uncommon to see units labeled from top to bottom, particularly when the stratigraphy was first described during excavation, rather than based purely on sedimentological deposition. A non-standard but internally consistent convention.

One manuscript was left in limbo for months after the editor disappeared without notice. In another accepted article, it took me weeks just to get an invoice to pay the APC.

Exactly, the last year is particularly bad
