Humans share their dreams about things that don't exist. Crows, chimps, elephants, whales, they don't.Try Rainbow Snakes, for instance. Instead of being diverse, they are astoundingly similar around the world.

Radical AnthropologyMost importantly, the authors "view...habitual ochre use as a proxy for the emergence of regular collective rituals". While ochre definitely can have functional uses, ritualised, visual display use appears primary: MSA ochres reflect costly and repetitive behaviours, including long-distance procurement and intentional colour selection."The overall dominance of grinding use-wear on archaeological specimens from the MSA indicates the primary production of powder". The authors note red residues produced on shell beads, when these appear later in sites like <a href="https://c.im/tags/Blombos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blombos</a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Taforalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taforalt</a> and now <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bizmoune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bizmoune</a>. This likely results from bodypaint on skin or deliberate colouring.In sum, they "view a large proportion of ochre finds from the MSA as the material remains of past ritual activity". This builds cogently on the position the <a href="https://c.im/tags/FemaleCosmeticCoalitions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FemaleCosmeticCoalitions</a> team took three decades ago that the ochre marked <a href="https://c.im/tags/ritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ritual</a> activity which was critical to the emergence of <a href="https://c.im/tags/symbolic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#symbolic</a> cognition.5/Image: from the Moroccan MSA at Bizmoune dating for large blocks of ochre accompanying ochre-residued shell beads are now back to 140 thousand years ago.
