More evidence that our prehistoric past is "red in tooth and claw".

---

Stone Age farmers lived through routine violence, and women weren't spared from its toll, a new study finds.The analysis discovered that up to 1 in 6 skulls exhumed in Scandinavia from the late Stone Age — between about 6,000 and 3,700 years ago — had nasty head injuries. And contrary to findings from mass gravesites of the period, women were equally likely to be victims of deadly blows, according to the study published in the February issue of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

Cool article. I imagine that there were a lot of raids going on back then.

So those people back then probably wouldn't have opened a door for me would they? :sad5:

Family feuds too. I'd imagine that Stand Your Ground laws were in full effect albeit unwritten.

Honestly you could have put an earthworm or something like that and it would have been much better than that clown picture.

What doors?

I guess it depends. I imagine that the men of your tribe would have. But when the other tribe came on a raid they would kill everyone they could. Including women. And then take your stuff.
