Scientists debunk 30-year myth linking griffin legends to dinosaur fossils

Scientists have debunked the long-standing theory that dinosaur fossils inspired the myth of the griffin. For over three decades, it was widely believed that the griffin—a legendary creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion—was derived from ancient fossil discoveries...

Scientists debunk 30-year myth linking griffin legends to dinosaur fossils Scientists have debunked the long-standing theory that dinosaur fossils inspired the myth of the griffin. For over three decades, it was widely believed that the griffin—a legendary creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion—was derived from ancient fossil discoveries. However, recent research by University of Portsmouth paleontologists Dr. Mark Witton and Richard Hing suggests that the connection between Protoceratops fossils and griffin mythology is highly improbable. The griffin has been a prominent figure in mythological art and literature since at least the 4th millennium BCE, originating in Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures before becoming popular in ancient Greece. The theory linking griffins to dinosaur fossils was first proposed by classical folklorist Adrienne Mayor in her 1989 cryptozoology paper “Paleocryptozoology.”

Isotope analysis reveals men and women had equal access to resources 6,000 years ago A study led by Déborah Rosselet-Christ from the University of Geneva analyzed human remains from the Barmaz necropolis. This Middle Neolithic site, located in Collombey-Muraz, dates back to between 4500 and 3800 BCE. The results of this analysis revealed a society with a diet heavily based on terrestrial resources, particularly animal protein. Both local and non-local individuals, regardless of gender, had equal access to food resources. This suggests a relatively egalitarian society, a finding that contrasts with some other Neolithic populations, such as those in southern France, where dietary differences between sexes have been observed...

Scandinavia’s early farmers slaughtered the hunter-gatherer population 5,900 years ago A recent study conducted by Lund University in Sweden challenges previously held beliefs regarding the transition from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies in Scandinavia. The research, which involved an international team of scientists, utilized DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth dating back 7,300 years found in present-day Denmark. Contrary to prior assumptions, the study reveals not one but two significant population turnovers occurred in the region, reshaping the genetic landscape and rewriting the history of ancient migrations. Previous narratives portrayed this transition as peaceful, but the study suggests the farmers, originating from Anatolia and southern Russia, drove out the indigenous hunter-gatherer populations through a combination of violence and the introduction of new pathogens from their livestock...

@archaeology Farming carries the thought of exclusionary ownership of property that excludes others, so hunter-gatherers wd be more nomadic, and a threat to farming. Native Americans didn't like farmers or farming for pretty much the same reason. In general, one group has fixed territory in defined farms and the other group is mobile and fixed territories do not work with that mobility. Yes, mobile groups had general, large territories, but not the smaller exclusionary parcels of farming.
