In de geest van ideas worth spreading, TEDx is een programma van de lokale, zelf-georganiseerde evenementen die mensen samenbrengen om een ​​TED-achtige ervaring te delen. Bij een TEDx event, TEDTalks video en live-luidsprekers combineren tot diepe discussie en verbinding in een kleine groep vonk. Deze lokale, zelf georganiseerde evenementen worden gebrandmerkt TEDx, waarbij x = onafhankelijk georganiseerd TED event. De TED-conferentie geeft algemene richtlijnen voor het TEDx programma, maar individuele TEDx evenementen zijn zelf-georganiseerd. * (*Onder voorbehoud van bepaalde regels en voorschriften)

Every week, millions of people watch TV shows about solving crimes with science. But did you know that chemists and archaeologists can work together to piece together an understanding of human behavior in antiquity? This talk will describe analytical chemistry research at Eastern Michigan University on historical and archaeological materials: colonial bricks, ancient rock paintings, tiny fragments of textiles. Learn about the questions that chemistry can — and can’t! — answer about people, technologie, and materials from our ancient past.

While a chemistry student at Thiel College in Pennsylvania, Ruth Ann Armitage, now Professor of Chemistry here at Eastern Michigan University, participated in an archaeological field school that confirmed her desire to combine these seemingly disparate disciplines. She completed a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at Texas A&M University on radiocarbon dating of charcoal-pigmented rock paintings. She has since worked with archaeologists at historic and prehistoric sites around the world. Dr. Armitage and her students develop mass spectrometry methods for characterizing rock paintings, dyes in textiles, and ceramic residues. Identifying these molecules from the past helps archaeologists better understand ancient materials.

Onder andere artefacten van de site biedt een rijke en veelzijdige materiaal van het bot en gewei, dat is zeer zeldzaam voor dit type stenen tijdperk opgravingen. Dit komt door de uitzonderlijk goede voorwaarden voor bewaring. Artefacten gevonden in anaërobe, koel en vochtig contexten lijken te zijn vervaardigd gisteren en niet te zijn gedeponeerd in lagen gyttja voor 7 000 of 8 000 years.

De structuur van het opgegraven gebied en de veelzijdige artefacten in combinatie met de projecten inter disciplinaire grondwet creëert verbreding scopes van interpretatie van hoe de site werd gebruikt, and also broadens our perception of Early Stone Age society.

Deze film wordt in samenwerking met het productiebedrijf BringitoLife. The film crew has followed the archaeologists during two field seasons.

De site is gelegen in de stad Motala, Oost Midden Zweden. De archeologische opgravingen zijn onderdeel van de Zweedse Transport Administration project “BanaVäg Motala — Mjoelby”. Het veldwerk zal sluiten tijdens 2013. Stiftelsen Kulturmiljövård also investigates part of the archaeological complex.

Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) emerged in Africa roughly 100,000 years ago. We know from fossil evidence that Homo sapiens replaced other hominids around them and moved out of Africa into Asia and the Middle East, reaching Europe 40,000 years ago.

Prof Richard Klein believes art is a landmark in human evolution. Unquestionable art that’s widespread and common suggests you’re dealing with people just like us. No other animals, after all, are able to define a painting as anything other than a collection of colours and shapes. This ability is unique to humans.

Other scientists agree. They believe art defines humans as behaviourally modern, and its beginning must coincide with the ability to speak and use language. If someone has the imagination to devise a shared way to describe their environment using art then it seems inconceivable that they could not possess language and speech. The search for the moment our ancestors became behaviourally just like us is also the hunt for the first evidence of art.

The earliest evidence of human art was always thought to appear in south western Europe around 40,000 years ago. Spectacular cave paintings, jewellery, carved figurines, ornaments and new styles of stone and bone tools all appear. There is evidence that ceremonial human burials were taking place. It really did seem like a light bulb had been turned on in the human brain; a big bang of thought.

Had something happened in a very small timeframe during the course of human evolution to forever change our future? A theory called ‘The Human Revolution’ emerged. It suggests there was some sudden, dramatic, genetic change around 50,000 years ago, that meant human beings, became able to think and communicate. For years this was the most plausible theory of why we evolved language and symbolic thinking, whilst our cousins the Neanderthals got wiped out.

Neanderthals were known to have been living in Europe for nearly 200,000 years before Homo sapiens arrived. But within 10,000 years of the modern human arrival, Neanderthals had disappeared. This seemed to back up the idea of the human revolution. A new, more intelligent species arrived to compete with the stronger, less advanced natives. Intelligence won and the Neanderthals were eventually made extinct, unable to compete with the incomers for scarce food and resources.
