Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

The end of a fruitful week in Halle (Saale, Germany) with colleagues from the Landesmuseum, studying ornaments for my THREADS project @nouvelleaquitaine.bsky.social and bone tools with L. Doyon for his ERC ExOsTech research. Exciting insights @univbordeaux.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

Ancient humans were systematically producing bone tools as early as 1.5 million years ago, according to a study in Nature. Bone tools discovered in Tanzania pre-date previous evidence of systematic bone tool production by more than a million years. go.nature.com/3XpB20D 🏺 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows tools made on long bone diaphysis of very large mammals.

Diese 5,5 cm lange Gewandspange aus Buntmetall wurde bei Altenzaun (Stendal) gefunden. Stilisierte Greifvogelköpfe zieren die Seiten. Dieser Spangentyp mit rechteckigem Kopf und dem Mittelbügel mit Scheibe stammt aus Gotland. Datiert wird sie in die Zeit um 600. © LDA Sachsen-Anhalt, J. Lipták

I am very happy and excited that our finds from Ranis along with those from the 1930s excavations (now stored at the Museum for Prehistory at Halle(Saale) led to these incredible results! A big Thank You to @arevsumer.bsky.social and the entire team for this amazing work!

I am very happy to share our new paper on the genetics of some of the first modern humans who ever lived in Europe! We sequenced nuclear DNA from 13 specimens from Ranis in Germany, and found that they belonged to at least 6 individuals. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/n)

New studies out yesterday show when modern humans last mated w/Neanderthals, but it's the details in this paper by @arevsumer.bsky.social @kaypruefer.bsky.social & co. that got me–like a mother and daughter found together after 45K years, or their close relative identified in a distant Czech cave.
