New research from Ukraine reveals Ice Age hearths showing advanced fire use, suggesting seasonal adaptation and skilled fuel management by early European hunter-gatherers during a time of scarce evidence.
The path is both one and many, as the trunk of a tree spreads out into numerous branches that stretch in all directions, so that one may follow the lore into countless byways and alleys ripe with mysteries.

I am descended from people who the state punished for worshipping in their own way (same god even-how unjust!) and who were punished for playing cards on Sunday.
Like my #ancestors, I am no fan of #theocracy.
Stop #ChristianNationalism . It’s a toxic life sucking cancer.
How appropriate that for today's #genchat I start with my mug of coffee!
Today we'll be having our Open Mic about Foods of Our #Ancestors . What did they eat? What recipes were passed down? Do you have any ancestral food stories? What kind of foods did they grow? What was their diet like?
Burg Lüdinghausen, a short drive from our home. Like this old Schloss, our own existence is built upon foundations that we cannot see, but whose solidity has led to us here and now. The lives and loves, struggles and successes, pain and joy of countless forebears. Let us honour them.

Until you realize a medieval #peasant had more free time then the average American #worker.
https://tlio.org.uk/medieval-workers-short-days-long-holidays/
The average US/EU worker has less vacation #time than a medieval peasant, and they had security of tenure “The tempo of #life was slow, even leisurely; the pace of #work relaxed. Our #ancestors may not have been rich, but they had an abundance of leisure.”
... The Church, mindful of how to keep a population from rebelling, enforced frequent mandatory holidays. Weddings, wakes...
What Was It Like for Our #Sapiens #Ancestors to Meet and Mix With Cousin #Species?
“Systematic bone tool production at 1.5 million years ago” (1) Nature paper 
“Over a million years ago, #Ancient #Human #ancestors sat down to shave flakes off bones, producing a tool with a carefully created sharp edge. …Their discovery, published today in #Nature, pushes back the age of a large bone tool kit by more than a million years.” — ABC story.

Hey? I follow the Auschwitz Memorial account. It's really, really hard. There are so many important reasons to follow that account. For me, my entire maternal line were Jews from the boarder region between Germany and Poland before WW2. I've done my best to trace their heritage. They are gone. No records. Very few survivors to note. An entire portion of my family utterly wiped from existence. I know there are better resources out there and I need to reach out. Just kinda sharing my experiences. Anyway, one reason to follow that account. Never forget. #Holocaust #Ancestors
My ancestors gave evidence after the Swing Riots of 1830... These are notes copied from the original quarter sessions documents.

Our ancestors were not insular peoples. Their stories are dynamic, of movement and blending and interconnection, with a common perspective: the cycle of nature within which they beheld the faces of the Gods.

#Black #Americans in #AMERICANHistory, Week One: “Respect for our #Ancestors and Respect each other”
Blessings on Sunna‘s Day.
May the wisdom of the ancients
Always be your light,
And the lore of the old ones
Ever be the way
Whereon you walk,
Guided by the Gods,
In the company of all
Whose feet trod the way
Before you.

Blessings on Sunna‘s Day.
May the Gods ever enlighten your way, and the ancestors surround you with the warmth of their company. And may the ancient lore shine brightly, both the path and the light of the path.

Blessings on Tyr’s Day.
Stand firm before the roaring chaos and bind its jaws with the strength that the Gods help you to realise you have always possessed. Stand with honour, your ancestors behind and beside you, your word sure and your deeds affirming them by their justice and equity.
