“…These similarities raise the matter of a possible specificity of funeral practices in southwest France during the Gravettian and a regionalization process. The four sites not concern contemporary groups (Henry-Gambier, 2008, 2013), as Cro-Magnon and Vilhonneur are dated from Early Gravettian (Henry-Gambier, 2002;Henry-Gambier et al, 2007), Cussac from the Middle Gravettian (Aujoulat et al, 2001) and Pataud from the Final Gravettian. However, there may be evidence of acts and practices that have persisted for at least some aspects throughout the Gravettian period.…”

“…A painted decor of the shelter wall and vault (Verez et al, 2013;Lebon et al, 2014) recalls recent discoveries that combine wall art and human remains in the same place. This refers to the same question of rock shelter function and the question of the relationship between rock art and burial practices (Henry-Gambier et al, 2007HenryGambier, 2008).…”

“…However, it is unknown whether samples from the remaining regions also share a close genomic ancestry. Some skeletal remains associated with the Gravettian that could be investigated paleogenomically are from Sungir (Russia); Laghar Velho (central Portugal); Cussac Cave; Les Garennes, near Vilhonneur; and Level 2 at Abri Pataud (western France). Light blue and light red regions represent the approximate distributions of the Magdalenian Culture and the Hamburgian Culture (13,000‐11,750 years).…”

Demic and cultural diffusion in prehistoric Europe in the age of ancient genomes

Ancient genomes can help us detect prehistoric migrations, population contractions, and admixture among populations. Knowing the dynamics of demography is invaluable for understanding culture change in prehistory, particularly the roles played by demic and cultural diffusion in transformations of material cultures. Prehistoric Europe is a region where ancient genome analyses can help illuminate the interplay between demography and culture change. In Europe, there is more archeological evidence, in terms of detailed studies, radiometric dates, and explanatory hypotheses that can be evaluated, than in any other region of the world. Here I show some important ways that ancient genomes have given us insights into population movements in European prehistory. I also propose that studies might be increasingly focused on specific questions of culture change, for example in evaluating the makers of "transitional" industries as well as the origins of the Gravettian and spread of the Magdalenian. I also discuss genomic evidence supporting the large role that demic expansion has played in the Neolithization of Europe and the formation of the European population during the Bronze Age.

“…It is not surprising, therefore, that artists have tried to capture this fascination since the dawn of depiction. What is considered to be one of the earliest extant pictorial representations of the human face dates from around 27 000 years ago, and it was found in a cave near Angoulême, France (Henry-Gambier et al 2007). It consists of three lines that could represent an eye, nose, and mouth, and these are painted on a flat piece of rock that approximates the shape of a head.…”

Faces in PerceptionThe experimental study of face perception has expanded enormously in the lifetime of Perception; and this theme issue looks back, via papers that have been published in its pages, at some of the 'see' changes that have occurred since its birth in 1972. It is not the intention of this theme issue to provide a review of research on face perception. Indeed, this would be impossible because face research has been published in many journals. Moreover, an excellent review of the recent literature can be found in Calder et al (2011). Rather, the development of research is reflected in the papers reprinted, which highlight the stimulus materials, methods, and theoretical concerns that have engaged researchers over about a 30-year period. The papers are selected from the 'deep archive' of Perception-that is, from the period of more than 10 years ago. Since there is a historical dimension to the selection presented, I will commence with a look even further back to some of the origins of research on faces.Faces not only fascinate us but they also provide vital clues to our social interactions. It is not surprising, therefore, that artists have tried to capture this fascination since the dawn of depiction. What is considered to be one of the earliest extant pictorial representations of the human face dates from around 27 000 years ago, and it was found in a cave near Angoulême, France (Henry-Gambier et al 2007). It consists of three lines that could represent an eye, nose, and mouth, and these are painted on a flat piece of rock that approximates the shape of a head. There are earlier examples of three-dimensional models of human bodies, but the distillation of depth onto a flat surface was a major achievement of mankind. We cannot be certain that it was intended to be a picture of a face because we can see faces in almost everything, from clouds to flames. Faces can be distinguished by their simple symmetry and orientation; arrangements of dots and lines can be recognised as faces even though the elements of the configuration are anything but face-like. Indeed, much of the early experimental work did involve highly simplified (schematic) faces (Brunswik and Reiter 1937). The same oval outline contained four simple structures-single lines for the nose and mouth, together with elliptical eyes. The separation of the eyes, the length of the nose, and the height of the mouth were varied systematically to yield 189 faces. Observers were requested to rank the faces according to characteristics such as narrow-minded, joyful, embittered, sad, and sarcastic, and there was reasonable agreement over which faces had these attributes.The scientific study of faces was revolutionised by photography in the mid-19th century. Facial expressions were photographed before aspects of face recognition were investigated. Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne (1862) photographed an actor as well as others while either stimulating the face electrically or simulating a variety of expressions. He considered that the expressions elicited by th...
