“…The demographic profile observed at the Cro-Magnon rock-shelter, with the association of elderly adults and very young children (under one year of age) thus appears unusual for the Gravettian, and suggests selective funerary practices, perhaps related to perceptions of similar levels of vulnerability. The presence of at least one adult, and possibly one infant, displaying visible signs of disease (Charlier et al, 2018), reinforces this hypothesis, as has been suggested for the burial of other Gravettian impaired individuals (Oliva, 1996;Formicola, 2007). An additional intriguing aspect, which could be coincidental, is that the number of children is of the same order as the number of adults at Cro-Magnon.…”

“…However, this question remains of interest considering the abundance of developmental anomalies in the Pleistocene fossil record (Trinkaus, 2018), to the point that they may indicate a high level of inbreeding (Wu et al, 2013;Ríos et al, 2015;Sparacello et al, 2018;Trinkaus, 2018). If the individual to whom CM 4252-5 belonged had abnormalities evident to the social group, as was the case for Cro-Magnon 1 whose skeletal lesions indicate a systemic and rare disease (Dastugue, 1967;Thillaud, 1985;Charlier et al, 2018;Ruggieri et al, 2018;Thibeault and Villotte, 2018), this condition may have played an important role in group behavior towards him/her, and particularly after his/her death. As previously noted (Oliva, 1996;Formicola 2007;Trinkaus et al, 2014), Gravettian burials contain an unusually high number of individuals with both developmental and degenerative conditions.…”

“…However, the extent to which there are (especially on CM 4327) discrete bony growths along the proximal femoral muscular attachments and along the midshaft linea aspera, combined with the large ossification of his left distal tibiofibular ligament, suggests that that Alpha suffered from more than age-related connective tissue ossifications. If these changes are combined with the CM 4325 distal femoral diaphyseal lesion, plus the changes elsewhere in the skeleton, it is evident that a systemic condition of genetic (Charlier et al, 2018), infectious (Dastugue, 1967), and/or idiopathic (Thillaud, 1981) origins was likely responsible for both the more pronounced lesions and a number of the minor changes.…”
