That Geico Caveman Is Not Gonna Like This
Researchers found cut marks and evidence that bones had been torn apart, which they say could indicate cannibalism."There is strong evidence suggesting that these Neanderthals were eaten," said the study's lead author, Antonio Rosas of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid. "That is, long bones and the skull were broken for extraction of the marrow, [which] is very nutritious."According to Rosas, there is evidence of cannibalism in Neanderthal remains from other European sites."I would say this practice… was general among Neanderthal populations," he said.
