Oh man that led me into a little rabbit hole of human history for the last ten minutes. How freaking neat

Very cool! I worked at the field site with the “vampire “ burials in 2014. There were quite a few people buried with scythes around their neck or torso.

That's incredible. Have you all published a paper on the findings there? I'd love to read it.

I just worked there for school credit, so I didn’t have anything to do with published articles on it, but I know I’ve seen some. I think if you google “atypical burials Poland” you could find some. We were told to call the “vampires” atypical instead of vampires.

Honest question: Do you ever fear one might be a real vampire and rise from the dead?

The 37000 year old Mammoth bones in America is interesting

There was a human tooth found in Georgia (the country) that’s 1.8 million years old

. But humans have been around for about 2 million years. So far research believes that humans migrated from Africa 60-90 thousand years ago. Homosapiens more likely mating with neanderthal. Neanderthal in Europe had the same set of teeth as humans did, didn't they? I wonder what the denisoven teeth were like.

This is actually inaccurate as they do not know how long humans exist and recently believe humans are much older.

Depends on what you call 'human'. H. sap. sap., very likely 200k, possibly 300k depending on where you draw the line.

Heck yeah. I started a YouTube channel a year ago though, and I got so lazy, I stopped producing after just three episodes. Haha... It takes a lot of time and research

Going from dark mode reddit to bright mode websites is very hard on my eyes.

Am hoping this is the worst thing that ever happens to you. ;-)

I can't do reddit dark mode, or on anything else I have to read a lot of. It messes with my eyes too much.

I'd love to read it but thos site doesn't allow me to decline cookies. Which I'm pretty sure is illegal in my neck of the woods.

I've always suspected that humans migrated to the America's long before the accepted time frame. It's great to see more evidence being uncovered. 37kya is a massive jump back! I'm guessing they were just following the herds, and they might have followed them right back out or died out.

And whoever that group was, they were eventually wiped out by a subsequent group.

3 downvotes. Did people miss the whole part about them finding a mammoth that was butchered that dates back to 37yka?!
