This map shows the decline of the Cornish language from 1300 to 1750. Darker areas in the east indicate where Cornish disappeared earliest, while lighter areas in the west and on the Isles of Scilly mark its final strongholds before English took over.

Morrígan is the primary figure associated with the raven and death in Celtic (specifically Irish) mythology. She is a goddess of war, fate, and death who often shapeshifts into a raven or crow, appearing over battlefields to choose the slain and influence the outcome of conflict.

Deep in Colombia’s Amazon rainforest, an 8-mile-long stretch of ancient rock art, discovered in 2019, reveals astonishing depictions of now-extinct Ice Age megafauna.
In the heart of this lush jungle, the painted cliffs of La Lindosa showcase vivid paintings dating back approximately 12,500 years. These artworks feature human figures, daily life, and a variety of animals, including mastodons and giant sloths.
Dubbed the “Sistine Chapel of the Ancients,” this discovery offers a rare glimpse into the Ice Age era, showcasing the biodiversity and culture of ancient Amazonian peoples. The sheer scale and detail of the artwork provide invaluable insights into prehistoric life and the environment of the time.

The issue 120/1: 2025 of Anthropos is out. Among many interesting articles you will also find the one by Mario Caballero Durán concerning ritual abduction of women in Kyrgyzstan. "Ala kachuu" or "kyz ala kachuu" is an act by which a man abducts a woman with the aim of marrying her. In this article, the author offers an interesting look at the "kyz ala kachuu" through the logics of rites of passage enunciated by Van Gennep and Victor Turner. He focuses on each of the phases of "ala kachuu" in brief, and then analyzes and explains this custom by associating it with each of the phases of the rite of passage (Photos do not belong to the article).

Genetic research led by scientists at the University of Copenhagen in 2008 found that all people with blue eyes likely trace their eye color to a single common ancestor.

This individual carried a genetic mutation in the OCA2 gene, which occurred approximately 6,000–10,000 years ago, most likely in the Black Sea region.

The mutation essentially "turned off" the ability to produce brown melanin in the eyes, resulting in blue instead. Before this mutation, everyone had brown eyes.

Blue eyes are now understood to be the result of this genetic bottleneck, making it a relatively recent human trait in evolutionary terms.

From roughly 1600 to 1900, the Kingdom of Dahomey carved out a powerful position in West Africa and a unique place on the world stage. With help from its fearsome squads of women warriors known as "Amazons," Dahomey conquered rival groups, became a major player in the transatlantic slave trade, and established lucrative economic relationships with Europe. Though visiting Europeans documented the customs of Dahomey, located in present-day Benin, much of its history nevertheless went unrecorded.

Now, researchers have added one more piece to the puzzle after uncovering some of the secrets behind Dahomey's famously ornate swords. Scientists studied six Dahomean swords from the 19th century and discovered that, contrary to prior theories, these blades were produced locally and not imported from Europe. Moreover, they were forged via a distinctive process of blending various types of iron and then folding them together into delicate patterns, a method that created uniquely beautiful blades and has never been seen anywhere else in history: https://inter.st/66xv

Inside the Native American tipi before colonization, the space feels alive with tradition and purpose. Soft animal hides cover the ground, providing warmth and comfort beneath the open framework of wooden poles. Sacred items—feathers, carved totems, and bundles of sage—hang respectfully near the center, where a small fire pit crackles gently, its smoke rising through the tipi’s smoke hole. Around the edges, handcrafted tools like bows, arrows, and pottery rest ready for daily use. The walls are adorned with painted symbols and stories that honor ancestors and nature, creating a sacred home where family, culture, and spirituality intertwine.
