Comment pensaient Néandertal ou Cro-Magnon ? Si nous connaissons de mieux en mieux les autres espèces humaines, aujourd'hui disparues, leur cerveau reste en théorie impénétrable, puisque cet organe ne se fossilise pas. En théorie, car l'équipe du projet PaléoBrain, dirigé par Antoine Balzeau, tente de le reconstituer en partant des crânes retrouvés. En partant de ces fragments osseux, les paléoanthropologues parviennent ainsi à replacer les sillons cérébraux, et donc à reconstituer la structure du cerveau, de ces anciennes humanités. Et si le chemin est encore long, ils commencent à comprendre leur fonctionnement, mais aussi à éclairer l'origine du langage ou encore des capacités cognitives humaines. BRAINCAST — Un podcast de Cerveau & Psycho, le média de référence de la psychologie et des neurosciences.cerveauetpsycho.fr • Découvrez nos offres d'abonnement (à partir de 4,90€/mois sans engagement).Suivez-nous sur Instagram @cerveauetpsycho • Facebook Hébergé par Ausha.

Dzięki zaawansowanej nauce wymarłe gatunki ludzkie mają przed nami coraz mniej tajemnic. DNA dawnych ludzkich populacji możemy porównać z kodem genetycznym człowieka współczesnego i na tej podstawie wskazać zarówno cechy wspólne jak i czynniki, które przyczyniły się do wymarcia jednych, a przetrwania drugich.

Pourquoi sur les parois des grottes, les premiers humains ont-ils dessiné des motifs géométriques ? Qu'est-ce que cette capacité innée d'abstraction et de symbolisation dit de nous et de la singularité de notre cerveau humain ? Sommes-nous une espèce symbolique par nature ? Demandons pourquoi et comment notre espèce humaine a inventé la géométrie ? Pourquoi dès l'aube de l'humanité dans les grottes du monde entier, nos ancêtres ont tracé des motifs géométriques du simple zigzag, au rectangle au cercle ou au triangle ? D'où viennent ces archétypes communs à toutes les cultures humaines et qu'est-ce que cette capacité d'abstraction, ce goût inné pour la symétrie, dit de nous et de la singularité de notre cerveau humain ? Sommes-nous une espèce symbolique par nature, la seule à composer des idées entre elles et donc des langages parlés, mathématiques, ou musicaux ? Immenses questions ouvertes et creusées par notre invité Stanislas Dehaene, professeur au Collège de France, un de nos plus éminents spécialistes du cerveau et de la conscience, titulaire de la Chaire de psychologie cognitive expérimentale, membre de l'Académie des Sciences et l'auteur de La bosse des maths, Les neurones de la lecture et du Code de la conscience. Il nous revient aujourd'hui avec un essai stupéfiant Le rectangle de Lascaux, et Homo Sapiens inventa la géométrie, paru chez Odile Jacob.

durée : 00:28:40 - L'Entretien archéologique - par : Antoine Beauchamp - Des fossiles pré-humains vieux de 773 000 ans découverts dans la carrière Thomas à Casablanca semblent confirmer l'origine africaine des ancêtres d'Homo Sapiens Que sait-on de ces populations qui se situent au point de divergence entre les Homo Sapiens, les Neandertaliens et les Denisoviens ? - réalisation : Hélène Trigueros - invités : Jean-Jacques Hublin Paléoanthropologue, titulaire de la chaire de paléoanthropologie au Collège de France.

The earliest identified purposeful burial site dates back 300,000 years ago in South Africa by our hominid ancestors, Homo Naledi, an extinct relative of Homo Sapiens, our species. The Naledi were cave dwellers with a timeline overlapping early Homo Sapiens. The Neanderthals, contemporaries of the Naledi, were buried with grave goods, including flowers. They included behaviors of covering bodies or placing them in protected niches as if their corpses needed to be protected for future use. The earliest Homo Sapiens single individual, intentional burial sites are estimated to have occurred 100,000 years ago. Those Sapiens grave sites contained bodies decorated with red ochre and tools suggesting their ritual care held symbolic intent. 40,000 years ago, burial sites grew more elaborate with graves containing ochre, jewelry, weapons, and artwork, culminating around 4,700 years ago in the Egyptian pyramid system. Modern burials...

L'émission 28 minutes du 04/02/2026 Stanislas Dehaene : la géométrie est née dans une grotte Avant de remplir les cahiers d'écoliers, les traces de figures géométriques recouvraient la grotte de Lascaux ou encore celle de Blombos en Afrique du Sud. Notre ancêtre Homo Sapiens pratiquait donc déjà la géométrie. Mais pourquoi cette faculté à tracer des triangles, des rectangles ou encore des lignes, serait-elle propre au cerveau humain ? C'est l'objet du nouvel ouvrage de Stanislas Dehaene, neuroscientifique et professeur au Collège de France, qui publie “Le rectangle de Lascaux. Et Homo Sapiens inventa la géométrie”, aux éditions Odile Jacob. Police municipale : faut-il élargir ses pouvoirs ? Un récent sondage Elabe pour BFMTV et La Tribune Dimanche révèle que la sécurité est la priorité pour 45 % des Français en vue des futures élections municipales. Avant cette échéance électorale, le Sénat examine cette semaine un projet de loi “relatif à l'extension des prérogatives, des moyens, de l'organisation et du contrôle des polices municipales et des gardes champêtres”. Ce texte octroie notamment aux policiers municipaux la possibilité de dresser des amendes forfaitaires délictuelles, en cas de flagrance, pour des infractions comme l'usage de stupéfiants, la vente d'alcool aux mineurs, l'outrage sexiste ou encore la vente à la sauvette. Claire Hédon, la défenseure des droits, a quant à elle mis “en garde contre un glissement des missions régaliennes de police judiciaire vers des forces locales”. Avec Xavier Mauduit, direction les Émirats arabes unis, qui ont annoncé la création d'une rue recouverte d'or. L'occasion pour lui de nous raconter la fascination que Marco Polo entretenait pour ce précieux métal.

¿Y si el Homo sapiens no sobrevivió por su superioridad técnica, sino por su capacidad de trascendencia? Este episodio explora la religión como experiencia real —no solo simbólica—, vinculando antropología, evolución y testimonios del Holocausto para pensar el sentido como fuerza vital.

She is an archaeological scientist interested in exploring the articulation between material culture, genetics, and biogeography to further theoretical, methodological and scientific advances in the field of human evolution. Her group is exploring the pan-African evolution of our species, Homo sapiens through a number of diverse projects. In this episode, we start by talking about H. sapiens in Saudi Arabia. We then discuss the spread of H. sapiens across wet tropical forests in Africa, and the diverse environments they inhabited there. We talk about H. sapiens on Malta and the Mediterranean islands. Finally, we discuss an expansion in the human niche and an out of Africa dispersal around 50 thousand years ago.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE,SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Compared to chimps or gorillas, human males are unusually well endowed. A new study suggests it's partly because men 'size each other up' before a fight.

A cura di Gino Rubini In questa puntata parliamo di :

Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape. It was enormous in size, a real-life Goliath of an ape. It existed until 300,000 years ago, and might've weighed up to 1,000 pounds. Just imagine an ape THAT big chasing you in a tropical forest. You'd probably think he was eager to devour you. But those huge species were fruit-eaters. So they wouldn't cause you any harm. But what if Gigantos lives nowadays? Would they get protection and survive just like pandas do? Or maybe they'd even help us uncover some of the secrets of the past... Homo Sapiens had many descendants that simply vanished with evolution. If Gigantos lived now, we could learn so much about ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's episode explores some very big picture history: David talks to palaeontologist and science writer Henry Gee about the story of the human species from origin to peak to inevitable decline. When and how did Homo sapiens see off the competition from its rivals in the human and animal world? Why did that point mark the start of an inexorable drift towards extinction? In what ways are our strengths as a species also our fatal weaknesses? And how near are we to the end?

In this groundbreaking interview, Dana Kippel — polymath and author of A New Force: Plasma Consciousness and New Human Potential — joins Emilio Ortiz to reveal how plasma consciousness is the next great discovery uniting science and spirit. Dana describes plasma as the living intelligence of the universe, the energetic bridge between matter and consciousness. She shares how it communicates through geometry, frequency, and coherence — and how these same plasma fields are awakening within the human body. Together, they explore how emotion, intention, and awareness interact with the plasma field to literally shape reality.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d...Drawing from her direct experiences, Dana explains that these plasma beings are not external visitors but expressions of our own multidimensional nature — light in motion, here to help humanity evolve beyond limitation. This episode dives into the deeper implications of the Singularity, the rise of the New Human, and what this planetary transformation means for life by 2027. If you've been feeling timelines blur, intuition intensify, or your body light up with new sensations — this is the bridge between mystical experience and scientific revelation.Dana Kippel is a visionary author, filmmaker, and consciousness researcher whose groundbreaking work bridges science, spirituality, and human potential. Through her book A New Force: Plasma Consciousness and New Human Potential, she introduces the idea that plasma is not just a physical state of matter but a living, intelligent field of awareness — the connective tissue between all dimensions of existence. With a background in multidimensional exploration and creative storytelling, Dana helps translate complex energetic phenomena into language that ignites remembrance, showing humanity how to evolve into the New Human capable of creating through light and love.Dana's Newest Book: Plasma, Consciousness, and the New Human Potential

Der Homo sapiens hat sich in Afrika entwickelt und von dort aus verbreitet. Da sind sich Forschende bislang weitgehend einig. Eine neue Studie über die Rekonstruktion eines fossilen Schädels aus China scheint an dieser Theorie nun zu rütteln.

There's fresh drama in the field of human origins! A new analysis of an ancient hominid skull from China challenges what we thought we knew about our ancestral family tree, and its timeline—at least according to the researchers who wrote the paper. The new study claims that Homo sapiens, and some of our relatives, could have emerged at least half a million years earlier than we thought. But big claims require big evidence.Anthropologist John Hawks joins Host Flora Lichtman to piece together the details.Guest: Dr. John Hawks is an anthropologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Neandertaler waren keine primitiven Halbaffen, sondern eine Menschenart mit Sprache, Kultur, Ritualen, und entwickeltem Sozialverhalten. Sie haben die gleichen Vorfahren wie der moderne Mensch, begegneten dem Homo Sapiens über mehrere Jahrtausende und zeugten mit ihm Nachkommen. Noch heute trägt der moderne Mensch Gene dieses Vorfahren in sich. Von Geseko von Lübke (BR 2023)

Saviez-vous que nos ancêtres Homo sapiens utilisaient déjà des teintures végétales il y a 34 000 ans ? Dans cet épisode captivant du podcast ArtEcoVert, nous avons le plaisir d'accueillir Pauline Leroux, ingénieure agronome passionnée par la couleur végétale et les plantes tinctoriales. Ensemble, nous plongeons dans une découverte archéologique fascinante qui remet en question notre compréhension des capacités créatives de nos ancêtres. Pauline nous fait découvrir une étude récente publiée dans la revue PLOS ONE, qui met en lumière des résidus de guède retrouvés dans la grotte de Dzudzuana, en Géorgie. Ces résidus, contenant de l'indigotine, prouvent que ces hommes préhistoriques savaient transformer les feuilles en couleurs, un processus chimique complexe qui nécessite observation et expérimentation. Cette révélation nous pousse à réfléchir à la manière dont la teinture végétale, qu'elle soit à base d'indigo, de garance, ou d'autres colorants biosourcés, a façonné notre rapport à l'art et à la couleur. Pauline souligne que cette quête d'esthétisme et de sens ne se limitait pas à la survie, mais s'étendait à une véritable exploration des nuances et des pigments végétaux. Comment ces pratiques anciennes influencent-elles notre compréhension de la couleur et de l'art aujourd'hui ?

Growing up, I excelled in my science classes in school, but I never truly enjoyed them. I could handle the memorization, but I never understood why some people are so concerned with some parts of science. The fascination that some have with dinosaurs and prehistoric times is something I don't understand. Some scientists are suggesting that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals began interbreeding tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. That's fascinating, but does it really matter? While we may learn about what happened in our past, it doesn't necessarily change what's happening in the present...

Humans have always tried to augment and enhance bodily flaws, from eye glasses to prostheses and pacemakers. But something qualitatively different is happening today. The transhumanist movement basically sees humans as biological algorithms.They want to break into the genetic code and the brain and change what a person is into something else. They believe nature has come as far as it can, and now it is we who drive evolution. We are the ones in charge of creating the next version of Homo Sapiens.“It's a new religion”, says psychologist and philosopher Harald Walach, who has written a comprehensive report about transhumanism.It's a staunchly materialist, godless religion.Seeing the body as a machine and the brain as a computer are metaphors that can be useful in some instances, like when we have had an accident. But it is a category mistake to take these metaphors to be the whole reality.“It's like taking the menu for lunch. You can't eat the menu”, says Harald Walach.A crucial and tricky question is whether the interventions transhumanists envision might mess around with consciousness. Harald distinguishes between psyche and soul.“These interventions can definitely change the mental state of people. But the soul is very likely untouchable.”The transhumanists are a heterogeneous collection of people.“They are various groups with different intentions. Some dedicate their efforts to abolishing death and aging. Some are more on the tech side, connecting human and machine. Others have a more philosophical approach reminiscent of the Nietzschean übermensch.”“A common theme is that they all want to create a transhumanist being with enhanced faculties that are greater than in current humans.”Interestingly, transhumanists aren't particularly good at science.“I don't think many scientists are transhumanistic, because scientists generally know about the intricate problems associated with what transhumanists talk about”, says Harald.“Transhumanists are science fanatics who don't really do science. Many are in the tech industry.”At the core of the transhumanist agenda are medical interventions, in particular genetic manipulation.“We've already seen it happening during the pandemic: Genetic prevention technologies masquerading as vaccines”, says Harald.Was there a nefarious agenda?“That's irrelevant. The thinking, the ideology and the technology were there. As I see it, it is like mushrooms. If you walk in a forest you may not see any mushrooms, but the mycelium is there, under the surface. When the conditions are right, they pop up everywhere.”To materialists, death is the ultimate catastrophe. There are transhumanists, like Aubrey de Grey, who want to abolish it.Ethical and logical objections aside, abolishing death would lead to absurd consequences, Harald points out: The population would quickly increase. By default one would have to prohibit procreation. This in turn would lead to fascistoid governing. Without young people, there would be no new ideas.“Philosophically speaking, life's finiteness creates meaning. If we don't die, we don't need to make any important decisions:, says Harald.He thinks it's imperative that we have an open discussion about the transhumanist agenda now. The proponents are a minority, but they are influential.“We need to ask ourselves: Are we willing to accept a transcendent realm that is beyond our human grip, that we cannot control?”Harald's websiteHarald's Transhumanism report

Humans are everywhere. How did we get from the savannahs of Africa across to the most northern reaches of Alaska and Greenland, to the outbacks of Australia and the islands of the Pacific millennia ago? How did we master fire, figure out how to craft tools and survive the Ice Ages?In this episode Dan is joined by Professor Chris Stringer, Research Leader in Human Evolution at London's Natural History Museum, to talk about how Homo Sapiens managed to outlive other human cousins like Neanderthals and Denisovans and cross oceans s hape landscapes and one day, build cities and space shuttles.Produced by James Hickmann, Mariana Des Forges and edited by Tim Arstall.You can now find Dan Snow's History Hit on YouTube!

Stéphane Bern remonte haut, très haut, dans le temps, à la rencontre de l'homme de Denisova, dont on a récemment identifié la trace d'une existence déjà connue de cet ancêtre qui vivait depuis longtemps, oui, très longtemps, dans la région qu'on appelle l'Asie aujourd'hui… Qu'est-ce qui distingue l'homme de Denisova des autres hommes préhistoriques ? Comment l'a-t-on découvert ? Peut-on, encore aujourd'hui, découvrir de nouvelles espèces ? Pour en parler, Stéphane Bern reçoit Silvana Condemi, paléoanthropologue et auteure de "L'Énigme Denisova", avec François Savatier (Albin Michel) Au Coeur de l'Histoire est réalisée par Celestin Muller.

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

Let us embrace the darkness.Not the political dark ages being pushed on us by today's regressive right-wing forces, but nature's own pure darkness of night. Unfortunately, we Homo Sapiens have largely blacked out nature's billions of beacons in the night sky, which have both dazzled and guided Earth's creatures for eons.Ironically, the tool used to wash out natural light… is light! In all cities and most towns, the glare of artificial lighting has pulled an impervious curtain across our sky. Especially garish (and entirely useless) is the lighting of corporate skyscrapers throughout the night with blinding spotlights that keep us from seeing the genuinely majestic view beyond.I was lucky as a child to spend summer evenings on my Aunt Eula's farm, entranced as darkness fell and the celestial show began. But today, most children don't even know it's there. Indeed, 80 percent of Americans never see the stream of the Milky Way galaxy that is our home – much less seeing the spectacular cosmic beams shining from trillions of miles beyond.This doesn't mean we should just stumble around in the dark. Of course we need light, but try a little common sense. One, stop spotlighting buildings. Two, don't point outdoor lighting up at the sky– shine it down on our streets, parking lots, stadiums, and porches where the illumination is actually needed. Three, remember that there's an off switch. And even small steps can make a big difference. After all, all we're giving up is bad lighting.This is Jim Hightower saying… We can have the light we need and still let nature's sky be the star. The good news is that towns, cities, and even countries have begun adopting such sensible lighting policies.

For hundreds of thousands of years Neanderthals have roamed the lands of what is today Europe and western Asia. But how did they survive, and what caused their decline?Tristan Hughes delves into the fate of the last Neanderthals and continues our Ice Age mini-series with Professor Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum. They explore how Neanderthals thrived across diverse climates and investigate the intriguing story of Neanderthals' eventual decline alongside the arrival of Homosapiens 60,000 years ago. Professor Stringer also shares the fascinating evidence of interbreeding that has left traces of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans and groundbreaking insights from recent archaeological and DNA research, that shed light on why Neanderthals went extinct.Presented by Tristan Hughes.
