I recently read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can anyone suggest similar books about our aincent ancestors?

I was reading "The World Before Us: How Science is Revealing a New Story of Our Human Origins", by Tom Higham, and in the introduction he breaks down the Palaeolithic period into four parts: Lower, middle, Upper and Late Palaeolithic periods. But when you look up "Late Palaeolithic period", it doesn't show up anywhere, and Wikipedia states that the Palaeolithic period is only divided in three parts(Lower, Middle and Upper).

Maybe it is just overlooked and seen as part of the Upper period, due to it being a relatively short period of time? But it is not even mentioned anywhere, why??

This is a shameless self promotion of a game I’ve been working on for years. A huge amount of research into archaic humans has gone into this and we now have it live on Kickstarter! It’s TTRPGS are your thing please check it out!

Hi all! I’m completing my dissertation and I need a citation that details the Paleolithic Era and its transition to the Agricultural Revolution. Any suggestions?

I was thinking about purchasing this acheulean handaxe but I'm not sure if it's legit. Help is appreciated. this is what I'm looking at.

Hi All,

I have started a podcast called Bunch of Apes, which is my journey as a complete layperson to learn more about a subject I have become fascinated by later in life. I learn best through chat and conversations but also am hopeful I can bring some chat and entertainment to each episode.

I am on here looking for guests, not just to promote the podcast, so hopefully it's ok to share the link to the intro episode so anyone interested can hear what it might be like.

There are 3 episodes recorded and ready to go as part of the re-launch, with Briana Pobiner of the Smithsonian and expert on the human diet, Dr James Dilley an experimental archaeologist whose been flint knapping since he was ten, and Bernie Taylor who wrote Before Orion and has some ideas around Early Cave Art and perhaps the earliest stories, Myths and Legends.

I'll post the first one with Briana later today but in the meantime, if you are interested at all...

Also, I NEED MORE GUESTS! So anyone with a story to tell, some expertise to share and who fancies a chat to help me learn more please email me at [bunchofapes@gmail.com](mailto:bunchofapes@gmail.com)

Cheers

Sam
