The Ghost in the Grass: Why the Savanna Hypothesis Was Wrong All Along

Step 36,000 years into the past.

Rest tonight in Chauvet Cave. One hour of archaeoacoustic cave ambience, soft narration, Scots pine hearth crackles, and ancient Aurignacian atmosphere.

Put on headphones and sink into deep time:

Were ancient rock engravings actually painted? 🎨

Weathering strips pigments over deep time, leaving only incisions behind. From megaliths to open-air valleys, many petroglyphs were likely vivid, painted works.

Nature keeps its own archives.

In Spain, centuries-old vulture nests preserved medieval sandals, textiles—even a crossbow bolt.

Is "sprawl" the only way the tropics can urbanise? Check out Alders new paper in JARE, which challenges our assumptions about tropical cities. It’s time to talk about the Swahili Townland. 🧵 #Archaeology #Urbanism #DeepHistory #Sustainability
