New study finds that 200,000 years ago, as elephants and other megaherbivores vanished from the Levant, so did the handaxes and heavy stone tools used to process them. Prey size may have driven tool size all along. #Paleoanthropology #Acheulian #Paleolithic #Archaeology https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-giants-left-the-handaxes
When the Giants Left, the Handaxes Followed

Linking the collapse of Levantine megafauna to the disappearance of a million-year-old stone tool tradition

@anthropology At university, I studies Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology, then shifted to Communication and started doing my M.A. in Counseling. COVID ended me going further. Lack of funds prevented me from continuing. I enjoy these subjects, but would prefer them related with today's existence, not history as studied in class. #archeology #anthropology
