"Uncovering Nine Distinct Paleolithic Cultures in Europe Through Ancient Adornments"
A study published in Nature Human Behavior suggests that nine distinct cultural groups lived in Europe during the Gravettian period, between 24,000 and 34,000 years ago. Researchers analyzed personal adornments worn by people during this time and found consistent differences between groups living in different areas, allowing for the identification of unique cultural characteristics. This sheds light on the diversity of ancient European cultures during the Paleolithic era.
