The principles behind every article published on Mondes Préhistoriques — no compromise on rigour, no compromise on accessibility.
News, features and documentaries with sources
French and English, co-written, not mechanically translated
No shareholders, no advertising, no institutional pressure
Every claim is grounded in peer-reviewed publications, documented excavations or reference institutions. Hypotheses are clearly presented as such.
Every article lists its sources at the bottom, with direct links to publications, official sites or databases. Readers can verify everything.
Making prehistory accessible does not mean oversimplifying it. We preserve complexity and nuance while making them understandable without an academic background.
Mondes Préhistoriques is an independent outlet — no shareholders, no external advertising, no institutional pressure. Editorial choices are guided by the quality of the subject.
Prehistory evolves: new dates, excavations and genetic analyses regularly challenge established certainties. We update our content accordingly.
Every article is available in French and English. Both versions are co-written, not mechanically translated, to respect the nuances of each language.
From −7 million years to the threshold of written history (~−3,300).
