Just arrived from London.. the Hottentot Venus!

It was a phenomenon in the 19th century. But, who was the so-called “Hottentot Venus”? Behind this name lies a powerful story about racism, colonialism, and the exploitation of the human body in modern history.

The headless, engraved Aurignacian “Venus” of Hohle Fels, dating to 35,000 B.P., created a sensation when it was discovered!! Let´s see some of the comments and newspaper titles.

Today we’re heading to America for a bit of entertainment.

Vulva stones from Chalfont, in southern California. Across several areas of this region, vulva-shaped petroglyphs have been associated with dawn races linked to rites of passage into womanhood (Bender, 2021).

Hoy os traigo este interesante y bonito hilo sobre las Venus esteatopigias. Dadle mucho amor!

[Morphofem 3D @morphofem3D]

The Paleolithic Venuses from Brassempouy, Grimaldi, and Laussel show meticulous, realistic art. But what fascinated 19th-century scientists wasn’t beauty or fertility—it was race.

In 2002, a paleodermatoglyphic and traceological identification analysis was carried out on the famous Venus of Dolní Věstonice. The age of the Venus fingerprint maker lies between 7 and 15 years. This permits to consider a young adolescent female or even a young adult female.

En este podcast se hacen eso de nuestro estudio de 2022 en donde analizábamos el papel de los niños en la creación de las representaciones de manos del Paleolítico Superior.

Gracias Santiago por compartir la ciencia! No os lo perdáis.

🖐️ Llevas toda la vida imaginando a un chamán pintando cuevas a la luz del fuego. Pues resulta que muchas de esas pinturas las hicieron… niños de 2 a 12 años. Con ayuda de mamá y papá. Hace 20.000 años. Y es precioso.

Everything is not as it seems! Microscopic analysis of samples taken from female figurines at the Upper Palaeolithic site of Mal’ta reveals the presence of pigment on their surfaces. Originally, they may not have been merely naked, but colorful as well (Lbova y Volkov, 2017). 🎨
