A unique archaeological find has recently expanded our knowledge of Neanderthals' capacity for symbolic thought. The object in question is a granite stone, on which a red ochre dot was deliberately applied to reinforce the image of a human face. It is, to date, the oldest example of portable art associated with Neanderthals.

A unique archaeological find has recently expanded our knowledge of Neanderthals’ capacity for symbolic thought. The object in question is a granite stone, on which a red ochre dot was deliberately applied to reinforce the image of a human face. It is, to date, the oldest example of portable art associated with Neanderthals. The most remarkable aspect of this discovery was the identification of a fingerprint in the pigment, at a level we have unequivocally dated to more than 42,000 years ago.

Esta semana, en la sección de edificios de Gijón, quiero hablaros del actual Museo Nicanor Piñole. De este edificio, y del que tiene justo al lado, una vivienda unifamiliar a modo de palacete. El primero se enfrenta en los próximos meses a un nuevo cambio de uso en sus funciones, lo que es de celebrar dado que seguirá siendo un edificio útil para la ciudad, para el Ayuntamiento y para todos nosotros como ciudadanos.

Existen lugares que permanecen en la memoria, sin estridencias ni artificios, pero que dejan una huella viajera a través de las sensaciones, las vivencias o las experiencias. Biarritz, la coqueta ciudad del sur de Francia, es uno de esos lugares. Con personalidad propia, a pesar de estar casi entre dos países: Francia y España, parece no haberse rendido del todo a las modas viajeras y ha sabido preservar su esencia aristocrática vasco-francesa, sin aceptar el turismo de masas.
