The bodies of three infants have been uncovered by anthropologists in eastern Austria. The infants were buried by hunter/gatherers about 27,000 years ago.
Two of them appear to be twins because their leg bones are the same length. The bodies are unusual because
they are adorned with beads which makes this the oldest evidence of the decoration of infants in the human fossil record. This indicates a shift to a more modern social behavior in this Stone Age culture.—From ScienceNow.sciencemag.org
