Ice age 'twins' found in ancient burial ground

New Scientist Breaking News - Ice age 'twins' found in ancient burial ground

Ice Age twins buried on a hill overlooking the Danube river in Austria, beneath a wooly mammoth's shoulder blade propped up with mammoth tusk, and the bodies covered in red ochre. The burial is between 27,000 and 40,000 years old, and seems very ritualistic. Included in the gravesite were nearly three dozen ivory beads.
