EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An Anthropological Journey Through the Palaeolithic Era: A Glimpse into the Ancient World of Homo Sapiens (18,000-30,000 years ago)" 2.. This collection of Upper Palaeolithic tools, dating back between 18,000 and 30,000 years, offers a profound insight into the lives of our ancient ancestors, the Homo Sapiens. Each artifact, carefully preserved through the ages, tells a unique story of their anatomical knowledge, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. a) The bone (A) in the foreground was meticulously shaped to create needle blanks, essential for sewing hides and creating clothing. b) Bone needle (B) is a testament to their advanced anatomical understanding, as it required precise shaping and drilling to function effectively. c & d) The harpoon head (C) and barbed point (D), both carved from antler, reveal their mastery over animals for survival. These tools were likely used for hunting large game, such as mammoths and other proboscideans. e & f) Two intricately carved heads (E and F) made from mammoth ivory showcase their artistic abilities and connection to the mammalian world. These ivory pieces, possibly representing spiritual or symbolic significance, demonstrate their advanced craftsmanship and the importance of ivory in their culture. This assemblage of tools, hailing from the Stone Age, offers a tangible link to our shared human heritage. The anthropological study of these artifacts provides valuable information about the anatomy, behavior, and culture of early humans during the Palaeolithic era.
