5 Changes in representation in Neolithic figurines from the Levant. Natufian. Sultanian. (2000), The Birth of the Gods and the Origins of Agriculture, Trans. Trevor Watkins. Cambridge University Press, fi gures 3 and 6, respectively. (1998), The Natufian culture in the Levant, threshold to the origins of agriculture. Evolutionary Anthropology 5(6):159–177, fi gure 13. 5B). Virtually no animal figurines are known from the Levant during the Khiamian period. What the spiritual or cultural transformation was that gave rise to the change in symbols is unclear, but the emphasis on the creation of these female figurines arises concurrently with the increasing importance of horticulture as an important means of subsistence.
Of all the differences between wild and domesticated cereals, two are regarded as most critical for domestication. The first is the loss of seed dormancy—t he inability of certain seeds to germinate when planted in moist soil unless given additional environmental stimuli, such as a cold treatment. Because the loss of seed dormancy trait is invisible, it does not show up in the archeological record. Such a change may have begun either during the phase of ecosystem management prior to the adoption of a sedentary lifestyle, or later, in small garden plots planted near permanent settlements during the Flora Unveiled 38 i PPNA.
They undoubtedly reflect a varied sex life. Sensual love and sexual appetite are innate to humanity. 35 If the sexual repertoire of people did indeed expand during the Magdalenian, why at this particular time? Humans had tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years prior to the Magdalenian to explore their sexuality. The notion that a range of previously unknown sexual practices was adopted as late as the Magdalenian seems rather improbable. Another possibility is that the practices themselves didn’t change, but that social attitudes and artistic styles changed, allowing artists to represent sexuality more freely and playfully.
