| summary | Premeditated treatment of dead bodies is specifically human-characteristic. Therefore, it should be asked: why and when has this extraordinary inclination begun? Discoveries of the oldest depositions of dead body fragments and of regular burials prove advanced complexity of the ancient hominins’ brain capacity. This archaeological evidence indicates that our distant ancestors attained ability to reflect on their special position in the multidimensional complexity of the surrounding world. |
