Did Neanderthals and modern humans actually meet in Ice Age Iberia? New simulations suggest most of the time they did not. Climate swings and fragile populations kept them apart, with mixing only in rare scenarios. #Paleolithic #Neanderthals #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology #Anthropology anthropology.net/p/at-europes-

Archaic humans were selective hunters, not mass slaughterers, new study reveals

A new study from Israel is shedding new light on how extinct relatives of modern humans hunted large animals, and how such strategies might have determined their fate when they later shared landscapes with Homo sapiens.

Archaic humans were selective hunters, not mass slaughterers, new study reveals

A new study from Israel is shedding new light on how extinct relatives of modern humans hunted large animals, and how such strategies might have determined their fate when they later shared landscapes with Homo sapiens.

Researchers investigating the Middle Paleolithic site of Nesher Ramla in the Levant focused on deposits dating to around 120,000 years ago, a period when archaic humans such as Neanderthals and other early Homo groups most likely first encountered modern humans. Contrary to some long-standing ideas, the team found no evidence that these archaic populations practiced large-scale mass hunting. Instead, the archaeological record shows evidence of carefully planned, small-scale, and selective hunting of wild cattle known as aurochs, the now-extinct ancestors of modern cows...
