A movie about the Copper Age Iceman. Dramatized. I think it will be interesting to see what others have made of his story. The comments written by those who watched the movie are great.
UPDATE I watched this movie. It is absolutely incredible. Highly recommended. The actor who played the main part of Otzi is amazing.

REVIEW ESSAY
Lineages of the Feminine:
An Outline of the History of Women
by Emmanuel Todd
Notice: I'm an card-carrying Todd's fan :)
https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2024/02/how-feminism-ends/
But does it make sense to produce certificates acknowledging the baby-ness of an early pregnancy, for grieving parents experiencing miscarriage, while legislating elsewhere to diminish the baby-ness of a late-stage pregnancy for desperate women terrified - like the woman in last year’s court case - of the social consequences of her pregnancy? From a perspective that views personhood as given, as our legacy Christian worldview does, the answer must surely be ‘no, this makes no sense’.
This makes perfect sense in Emmanuel Todd's latest developments : our societies are "post religious", going from Christian to "Zombie christian" then to complete nihilism. It explains a lot of trouble in Western societies.

A Brazilian anthropologist has reconstructed the face of the archaic human species Homo longi from a well-preserved skull discovered in northeastern China in the 1930s. Homo longi is an extinct species of the genus Homo that lived in Asia during the Middle Pleistocene.
Nicknamed Dragon man, the species was identified from a nearly complete skull dated to 148,000 years ago.

Warriors and Worriers changed my perception of the world a bit, both on an intellectual and personal plan. First of all, I finally got the answer to why growing up female was such an unpleasant experience.

Mammoth Trumpet Archives – Center for the Study of the First Americans
The Center’s news magazine, the Mammoth Trumpet, reports on all aspects of the peopling of the Americas
The Mammoth Trumpet is published four times a year and has been published since 1984. Articles in the Mammoth Trumpet include breaking news on important discoveries and issues facing First Americans research. The Mammoth Trumpet is written for both the general public and the scholarly community.
These archives include all issues except for those from the previous two years.
Humans have existed for at least 200,000 years. Yet until recently, historians believed that cities, astronomy, architecture and numeracy did not arrive until agriculture emerged some 12,000 years ago. But what if that was wrong? What if cities existed before agriculture and our hunter gatherer ancestors enjoyed a far more complex existence than we thought? And if they did, then what are the implications for modern political theory - which justifies inequality on the basis that we live in a higher, more sophisticated form of society that was always inevitable? What if there were social revolutions before documented history? And what if humankind had engaged in innumerable experiments in how best to live - including ones that involved the rejection of what we would consider to be ‘civilisation’? Aaron Bastani discusses all of that, and more, with archaeologist and co-author of the bestselling ‘Dawn of Everything’ David Wengrow.

The West's governments have access to excellent #intel, #demography, national #statistics, #anthropology & other #info describing the people-groups, cultures & #societies of the #people they have imported into #Western nations.
The West's #governments used #NATO, #UN, #paramilitary & intel agencies to kick proverbial wasp nests in the Middle East, #Africa & South-West #Asia & then opened the West's borders to hostile peoples from antithetical #cultures.
None of the #political, #corporate, #academic, #plutocratic or #aristocratic #elites have been harmed. The #victims have been the peoples of the #West who had little to no say in #geopolitical affairs. The West’s elites are at #war with Western peoples.

Led by renowned paleoanthropologist Lee Berger, researchers said in June they had discovered several specimens of Homo naledi – a tree-climbing, Stone Age hominid – buried about 30 meters (100 feet) underground in a cave system within the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO world heritage site near Johannesburg.

Correlative Trend Between Percentage of National Irreligiousness & National Mean IQ for 241 Countries & Dependencies, plus Pearson Sample Correlation Coefficient demonstrating a 0.64 (strong) correlation.
Given the etymology of the word 'religion' being 'the repeated process of gathering & transitionally binding' minds to ideology, it seems to me that the higher the mean intelligence quotient expressed by a population, the less susceptible its minds are to being gathered & bound to ideology.
