Dogs, they concluded, derived from ancient wolves that inhabited Europe and are now extinct.ayne said that that the domestication of predatory wolves likely occurred among ancient
hunter-gatherer groups rather than as part of humans' development of sedentary, agricultural-based communities.
The spread of plants and animals throughout Europe between 6000 and 4000BC involved a complex interplay between indigenous Mesolithic
hunter-gatherers and incoming Neolithic farmers but the scale of the interaction and the extent to which
hunter-gatherers took ideas from their neighbours remains hotly debated.
"In a tropical and geomorphologically active landscape often considered challenging both for early human occupation and for the preservation of
hunter-gatherer sites, the newly discovered shell middens provide evidence for early to middle Holocene occupation and illustrate the potential for identifying and interpreting early open-air archaeological sites in western Amazonia," arcaheologists (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0072746) noted in their report published in the journal PLoS ONE.
1.5 to 2degC per century,
hunter-gatherers in Europe during the Mesolithic era (approximately 11,000-6,000 years ago) experienced significant environmental changes, very similar to the ones we face today: rising sea levels, increased drought, plant and animal migrations, and wildfires.
Shame and its effects are poorly understood in our society, far removed from our
hunter-gatherer origins.
Critique: Beautifully illustrated and impressively informative, "Arrowheads, Spears, and Buffalo Jumps: Prehistoric

People in Iberia continued to live as
hunter-gatherers for thousands of years after that, long after the end of the Ice Age.
class="MsoNormalFrom a public health perspective, modern
hunter-gatherers may be most remarkable for their relative lack of chronic diseases like heart disease, hypertension and cancer.
It is believed there are a little over 1,000 Hadza people remaining, forming one of the last
hunter-gatherer communities still in existence, and living close to the site of some of the very earliest human remains.
Hunter-gatherer societies treated land as a 'common' resource.
The samples also included DNA from HEabE1/4nhian
hunter-gatherers and a Jomon from Japan - a scientific first, revealing a long suspected genetic link between the two populations.
The new finds were discovered some metres away from an earlier
hunter-gatherer settlement named Ayios Ioannis/Brescia-Rhoudias, which has been excavated by the same archaeological team for a number of years.
