It is an important archaeological culture widely distributed in Europe. It is famous for its unique stone technology, advanced hunting strategies, more complex social organization and iconic artistic creation. It is speculated that the early origin of the culture may be located in the Crimea, and then spread to the whole of Europe, about 22000 years ago gradually towards extinction.\n\nThe Gravites lived in the cold phase of Europe's prehistoric climate and were highly skilled hunter-gatherers. Food sources include large animals such as mammoths, wild horses and reindeer hunted with stone tools or bone tools, as well as small prey such as hares and foxes hunted with nets; coastal populations also prey on seals and collect shellfish. Compared with Neanderthals and earlier human groups, they used tools more efficiently and their hunting strategies were more complex.\n\nEvidence from remains shows that Gravites are generally tall and well-proportioned: the average height of men is about 183.5cm, which is a very high level even in the entire human history; the average height of women is about 158cm, which is significantly lower than that of men. The Gravites live in caves, semi-crypt houses or circular shacks, which often congregate to form small settlements. Gravitt people are quite innovative in tool technology. Representative artifacts include blunt-backed stone knives, stone arrows, spear throwers, etc. Other innovations include woven nets and stone oil lamps.\n\nGravitt culture, Oreina culture and Solute culture together constitute the technological development sequence of the late Paleolithic, and are generally regarded as the direct successor of Oreina culture. Its artwork, often carved from ivory or limestone, is impressive. These include the famous \"Venus of Virundov\", a small female sculpture with a height of 11.1cm, also known as the \"statue of the mother god\", which may depict the god of abundance and was unearthed in the \u003Cspan class=\"marker\" enus=\"Willendorf Cave\" lon=\"15.3833\" lat=\"48.3167\" map=\"HB\" zoom=\"6\">Virundov cave\u003C/span> in \u003Cspan class=\"marker\" enus=\"Moravia\" lon=\"17.2518\" lat=\"49.5955\" map=\"HB\" zoom=\"4\">Moravia\u003C/span>, Austria (Willendorf Cave).\u003Cdiv class=\"img-container-article\">\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://image.big-history.online/tree_24.25.26/1760411468481_venus-von-willendorf.jpg\" alt=\"venus-von-willendorf\" width=\"60%\"/>\n\u003Cspan>\nPhoto by \u003Ca href=\"https://picryl.com/media/venus-von-willendorf-copy-24-43d961\" target=\"_blank\">picryl.com\u003C/a>\n\u003C/span>\n\u003Cp class=\"description\">this sculpture of \"Venus of Virundov\" is one of the earliest works of figurative human body art.

Since its discovery in 1986, this rare three-person tomb has attracted countless archaeologists and is one of the most famous tombs of the Gravitan period. The three were once thought to be two men and one woman, but it was later confirmed that they were all men, the two on the outside were brothers (at least the same father or mother), and the age of death of all three was around 20 years old. They were buried in a strange \"scene\" and had been sleeping together for about 28000 years. The deceased in the middle had a genetic disease that caused deformities in his legs, and in his pelvis was found ochre, a pigment commonly used in rituals. The people they were in had migrated from France in the west to northern Italy in the south and also spread to western Russia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\u003C/div>\n\nThe Gravitt culture lasted for about 10000 years, was the most successful early European inhabitant and had a profound influence on subsequent cultures. But during the last ice age, the coldest period of the last ice age, the Gravites experienced a severe demographic crisis and eventually died out (at least in the current European population, no direct genetic evidence has been found that can be clearly traced to this group). In Western and Central Europe, the culture was largely replaced by the Solut culture (Solutrean Culture), while in the eastern regions it was inherited by the \"post-Gravitt culture\" (Epigravettian Culture) and other cultures.\n\n\u003Cbr>\n\n## References\n\n\n\n《智人之路：基因新证重写六十万年人类史》[德]翰内斯·克劳泽 [德]托马斯·特拉佩著；王坤[译]；现代出版社 2021-04\n\n\u003Cbr>\n\n\u003Ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravettian#/map/0\" target=\"_blank\">Gravettian\u003C/a>\n\n\u003Ca href=\"https://donsmaps.com/tripleburial.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dolni Vestonice and Pavlov burials, including the triple burial\u003C/a>\n\n\u003Cbr>\n\n---\n","What is Gravitt culture?
