Comments

[edit]
--The title of the article and the title of each section should have a capital first letter and ONLY the first letter.
--"This cycle was first discovered..." Discovered? This is something humans have known for thousands of years. Maybe described. Maybe something else.
--"which is biological process" missing a. A biological process.
--"scientists[2]." "difficult[3]." "survive[1]." "caterpillar[3]." The period (full stop) comes BEFORE the reference.
--"annual" probably should not be wikilinked. If it is to be linked, it must link to just one article, not several.
--photoperiod should not be capitalized.
--"This, hopefully will..." Comma after 'hopefully' (if the word 'hopefully' even needs to be here)

I'll quit there for now. The author may find some further errors. The reference section needs a heading; take a look at other articles.

Circannual rhythms as a proto-calendar

[edit]

I know nothing about this subject, but there's news going around today about a discovery that early humans may have been using circannual animal rhythms as a primitive kind of yearly calendar, around 20,000 years ago.

Some lay-press articles about this:

And the one journal article that's been published about this so far:

  • Bacon, Bennett; Khatiri, Azadeh (2023-01-05). "An Upper Palaeolithic Proto-writing System and Phenological Calendar". Cambridge Archaeological Journal. doi:10.1017/S0959774322000415.

I'll let someone else decide if or how this should be integrated into this article. --Hirsutism (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
