Neanderthals, Homo sapiens and the ‘Human Revolution’ by Camilla Power 21 Feb 2025

Camilla Power will be comparing the evidence for the emergence of language, art and symbolism between the lineages of Neanderthals in Eurasia and Homo sapiens in…

Vimeo

In 'Egalitarianism made us the symbolic species', biosocial anthropologist #CamillaPower opposes the idea that just anything goes in our evolution as Homo sapiens. While Graeber and Wengrow say about our speciation that ‘we have next to no idea what was happening’, we can be fairly confident about what wasn’t happening - patriarchy! This hypothesised trajectory of change in ‘dominance’ relations reflects change in brain size through Pleistocene Homo evolution. The very large brain sizes of the period of our speciation are predicted to associate with significant egalitarianism. Our anatomy, psychology and cognition provide evidence for constraints. The evolution of cooperative eyes, intersubjectivity, large brains, a ratchet effect of cultural accumulation and language itself needed stable, protracted periods in sociopolitical contexts of egalitarianism. Gender relations must be pivotal in the processes of increasing levels of social tolerance and aversion to inequity.

Chris Knight and Camilla Power explain how menstrual bleeding was constructed as the world’s earliest taboo and how blood-red ochre came to symbolize ritual potency as our species emerged.
