Very happy. A paper just out of the oven. It is a piece of work made possible only after many years of thinking about, and looking at, an old problem from multiple perspectives. And with the magical brushstrokes of our artists, Gabriela and Ariadna. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ariadna, one of my two artists, gave me this drawing: it brings back my childhood and the bond with Estrellica, a stray dog a friend and I once rescued. It was a tense night—we truly put ourselves at risk, as the city was rounding up dogs to be killed. That night, over 100 were saved.

Late Paleolithic whale bone tools reveal human and whale ecology in the Bay of Biscay - Nature Communications
Here the authors apply ZooMS, radiocarbon, and stable isotope analyses to whale bones from the Bay of Biscay. They find that humans were utilizing the remains of at least five species of whales from 20,000 years ago, and that those whale communities may have resembled today’s arctic waters.

I learned to harvest grapes in 1970, aged 8, with my uncle’s hocete. There, I became a man—sweating, aching, talking. In the vineyard, camaraderie mattered more than age or origin. I miss those days, and the lessons learned from the hands of people shaped by the land.
