Ontological polyglossia: the art of communicating in opacity* Polyglossie ontologique : l'art de communiquer dans l'opacité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 293-312, March 2026.
What do communicating with a baby, with an animal, and with an ancestor have in common? In all three cases, people engage in opaque communication that is far from the standard psycholinguistic model of transparent interaction based on shared intentionality.

A Return to Chalosse Cherts: An Integrated Approach Based on Field Survey, Petrography and Geochemical Analysis to Understand a Palaeolithic Tracer

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and ...

Divergence in the evolution of Paleolithic symbolic and technological systems: The shining bull and engraved tablets of Rocher de l'Impératrice.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The development of the Azilian in Western Europe 14,000 years ago is considered a "revolution" in Upper Paleolithic Archaeology. One of the main elements of this rapid social restructuring is the abandonment of naturalistic figurative art on portable ...

Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 4-28, January 2026.
The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

The neurobiology of altered states of consciousness induced by drumming and other rhythmic sound patterns

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 55-70, August 2025.
Rhythmic auditory stimulation has been used across cultures to alter consciousness, yet its neural basis remains unclear. Our review suggests that rhythmic sounds induce absorption and relaxation. We propose that thalamo‐cortical entrainment to low‐frequency rhythms underlie these effects, paralleling mechanisms in psychedelic and psychotic states.

Potential Adaptive Introgression From Dogs in Iberian Grey Wolves (Canis lupus)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 12, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Invading species along with increased anthropogenization may lead to hybridization events between wild species and closely related domesticates. As a consequence, wild species may carry introgressed alleles from domestic species, which is generally assumed to yield adverse effects in wild populations.

Controlled comparative tensile tests of backed versus non‐backed edges’ adhesion: Inferences into stone tool functional properties

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 267-283, April 2025.
Abstract Backing is a procedure for retouching a stone tool edge to an angle of or near 90°. Archaeologists have recorded backed lithic specimens in the Pleistocene and Holocene around the world. One prominent hypothesis for the occurrence of backing is that it increases a stone tool's adhesion relative to what it would have otherwise been with ...

Palaeolithic rock art in Cueva de Cordoveganes I (Puertas de Vidiago, Concejo de Llanes, Asturias). Discovery and first documentation of a new rock art assemblage in Cantabrian Region

Zephyrus, 2011
In this paper we present a small assemblage of Palaeolithic paintings, recently located in Cueva de Cordoveganes I. It consists of several red paintings (among which a hind made to stamp lines) preliminarily allocated to pre-Magdalenian period, and ...
