Скачать или смотреть The Oldest Evidence of Human Cannibalism Ever Found

At Gran Dolina in Atapuerca, Spain, archaeologists uncovered chilling evidence of cannibalism dating back 800,000 years. Fossils from at least 11 individuals—mostly children and adolescents—showed clear butchery marks: cut marks, fractures for marrow extraction, and human remains discarded like animal bones. The perpetrators were likely Homo antecessor, making this the earliest known instance of human cannibalism. The site, TD6, revealed not just isolated acts but repeated episodes of flesh removal and consumption, potentially for nutritional purposes during harsh conditions or as part of group conflict. These findings reshape our understanding of early human behavior.
