You cannot consider the future without the past. Inspirational quote by Jefferson at Leuphana university library is contested because of the past: why a slave holder's quote in the University library? The future is shaped and constrained by history. I think we should pay it more attention.

🏺🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🧪 Early Upper Palaeolithic marine mollusc exploitation at Riparo Bombrini (Balzi Rossi, Italy): shellfish consumption and ornament production. Interested in early Homo sapiens ornamentation and subsistence?... 1/n link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Title page of the article "Early Upper Paleolithic marine mollusc exploitation at Riparo Bombrini (Balzi Rossi, Italy)" by S. Gazzo, E. Cristiani, F. Negrino & J. Riel-Salvatore, published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences

Selection of shell ornaments from level A1. 1, Tritia mutabilis; 2, Turritellinella tricarinata; 3, Ocenebra edwardsii; 4, Tritia gibbosula; 5, Tritia neritea; 6, Trivia sp.; 7, Euspira macilenta; 8, Homalopoma sanguineum;

a) Location of anthropic perforation according to Taborin (1993a): E1, edge of the lip (E1a, very close to the edge of the lip; E1b, further away from the edge of the lip; E1c, on the back ); E1-E2, between the edge of the lip and the back; E2, base of the back; E3, under the natural aperture; E4, base of the shell (in suspension position); E5, against the columella. (modified from Taborin 1993a , p. 170). Below - location of the perforation in some of the identified taxa. From right to left: T. neritea, T. pellucida, H. sanguineum, T. monacha, T. incrassata, O. edwardsii; b) Localization of the four areas identified around the rim of the shell’s perforation; c) graphic representation of the distribution of use wear in the four areas in all the investigated levels; d) graphic representation of the use wear distribution on two of the most represented species: e) H. sanguineum and d) T. neritea.

What a difference a century makes! Kroeber (1917) arguing that birdsong couldn't possibly be a socially learned tradition. Research since has shown how wrong he was.

In any event, whether one bird does or does not in some degree "learn" from another, there is not a fragment of even alleged evi- dence that bird song is a tradition, that like human speech or human music it accumulates and develops from age to age, that it is inevitably altered from generation to generation by fashion or custom, and that it is impossible for it ever to remain the same: in other words, that it is a social thing or due to a process even remotely akin to those affecting all constituents of human civiliza- tion. (Kroeber 1917)

Title page of Lachlan et al.: "Cultural conformity generates extremely stable traditions in bird song"
