TL;DR Summary

Archaeologists have made a stunning discovery in the Grotte de Cussac cave in France, where the remains of prehistoric hunter-gatherers were found in man-made "nests" deep inside the cave system. The skeletons, belonging to the Gravettian culture of the European Upper Paleolithic, shed light on burial rituals and provide insights into the social complexity of Paleolithic humans. The cave is also adorned with cave art, making it a unique site where mortuary rites and art likely coexisted. The findings offer valuable clues about our ancestors' way of life and death.
