Behavioral Modernity: How Human Cultures Appeared - ASMR For Sleep

Let's go back to Prehistory tonight! Behavioral modernity is a concept created to describe a series of traits and behaviors that our species, Homo Sapiens, adopted over the past 100,000 years. The list of these traits, their timelines, their maps and the way archaeological records reflects them are still debated among paleontologists and paleoanthropologists. However, there is no doubt the phenomenon is real, and in this episode I tell you about the concept of behavioral modernity itself, its manifestations (burials, figurative art, long distance transportation of resources, better blades and tools...) and what could have triggered it.
