They were armed with harpoons carved from whale bone. These daring mariners targeted massive cetaceans. Meanwhile, recent research reveals that these societies were among the first globally to develop specialised technology for large-scale whaling. This study, published in <em>Nature Communications<\/em>, rewrites history by shifting the dawn of known whaling back a thousand years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona recently re-examined collections at Brazil\u2019s <em>Museu Arqueol\u00f3gico do Sambaqui de Joinville<\/em>. The archives held <strong>thousands of marine mammal bones<\/strong> and enigmatic bone tools unearthed decades ago from <em>sambaquis<\/em>. These monumental shell mounds, built over millennia by coastal communities, serve as stone-and-shell archives of ancient life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-scientists-identified-the-ancient-whale-hunters\">How Scientists Identified the Ancient Whale Hunters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team conducted rigorous zooarchaeological, typological, and molecular analyses to determine the function of these artefacts and the species they came from. The findings showed a dominance of Southern right whales, humpbacks, and dolphins. However, the presence of blue whales, sei whales, and sperm whales surprised the researchers. This revealed a much broader spectrum of prey than previously imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify the <a href=\"https:\/\/holistic.news\/en\/sudan-archaeology-discovery-king-qashqash-proven\/\">&#8220;mysterious&#8221; artefacts<\/a>, scientists compared wear patterns on the museum specimens with ethnographic descriptions and known harpoon examples from across the globe. This process successfully identified harpoon shafts ranging from 26 to 52 cm in length. They were crafted from whale ribs. Additionally, the tools\u2019 specific proportions match those required for hunting massive whales from small, unstable watercraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence shows that many of these bones bear <strong>distinct cut marks and signs of butchery, indicating an organised process for harvesting meat and blubber<\/strong>. Crucially, the discovery of whale-bone harpoons alongside the remains of the same species suggests a sophisticated cycle. Hunters used the bones of past catches to craft weapons for their next hunt. Beyond mere survival, many remains appeared in burial contexts. This hints that <strong>ancient whale hunters<\/strong> viewed these creatures with deep ritual and prestige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brazil-s-discovery-rewrites-maritime-history\">Brazil\u2019s Discovery Rewrites Maritime History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Radiocarbon dating places the oldest harpoons at approximately<strong>5,000 years old<\/strong>. Consequently, organised whaling occurred in South America a <strong>full millennium before the earliest documented cases<\/strong> in the Arctic or North Pacific. This shift transforms our understanding of the &#8220;sambaqui&#8221; people from simple shell-gatherers into sophisticated <a href=\"https:\/\/holistic.news\/en\/human-handprint-breaks-records-67800-years-old\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"16210\">marine predators<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This study positions southern Brazil as one of the earliest hubs for the exploitation of great baleen whales,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; the authors note in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-025-67530-w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nature Communications<\/a><\/em>. Their work effectively extends the known timeline of human interaction with these giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-modern-implications-for-conservation\">Modern Implications for Conservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reconstruction of ancient whale ranges also carries vital weight for today\u2019s conservation efforts. The high volume of humpback remains proves that their historical range along the Brazilian coast was much wider than it is today. Moreover, their recent return to these waters might not just be a recovery. Rather, it could be a long-term recolonisation process following the devastating era of industrial whaling, as remembered by the ancient whale hunters of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read this article in Polish:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/holistic.news\/polowali-na-wieloryby-juz-5-tysiecy-lat-temu-najstarsi-wielorybnicy-swiata\/\">Harpuny i&nbsp;gigantyczne walenie. 5 tys. lat temu wyruszali na&nbsp;morskie \u0142owy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coastal communities in what is now southern Brazil were already ancient whale hunters 5,000 years ago.
