| Özet: | The Qafzeh site in Lower Galilee yielded a unique set of early modern Homo sapiens skeletal remains dated to ca. 100 ka BP and represents all age categories from perinatal to adulthood. Numerous and varied developmental abnormalities, dental and bone lesions, are reported that provide insights into life history among these Middle Palaeolithic nomadic hunter-gatherers from Southwestern Asia. Several pathological conditions affecting young subadults enable us to understand childhood mortality in past human populations. In addition, other skeletal variations provide information related to social care and funerary practices among the inhabitants at Qafzeh, ca. 100 ka BP. |
