Is this the oldest case of cannibalism? Cuts made on a bone from a
mysterious human relative 1.5 million years ago reveal they were
butchered and likely eaten by one of their own
Researchers from the Smithsonian's National Museum of
Natural History found the markings on the left tibia
from a relative of Homo sapiens that lived in what
is now Kenya.
Approximately nine of the 11 cuts match the type inflicted
by stone tools, while a now-extinct saber-tooth-like
animal was responsible for the others.
. . .
There were three hominin species inhabiting that
area at the time. 'Sapiens Sapiens' wouldn't appear
until 300,000 years ago however.
Oddly, the article doesn't mention WHICH species
was the evening meal ...
Did they have A1 Sauce back then ???
