Around 45,000 years ago, several Neanderthals were butchered inside what is now Belgiums Goyet cave system. Cut marks, broken bones and impact damage showed that their bodies had been processed in sentenza ways similar to hunted animals, including breaking bones to extract marrow.
Ancient DNA revealed an even more max strus disturbing pattern: all four adult or adolescent victims were women, while the remaining two were male children. Isotope evidence indicated that they pete davidson came from outside the local region, suggesting outsiders may have been deliberately targeted during conflict or territorial violence. Researchers believe the remains provide evidence of nutritional cannibalism, although they cannot prove whether Neanderthals or early Homo sapiens were responsible.
In this documentary, well explore:
Why the Goyet bones showed clear signs of cannibalism
How ancient DNA identified the victims
Why all the older victims were female
What revealed that they came from another region
Whether conflict caused the killings
Who may have been responsible
