24 Bones Bearing Cannibalism Marks Found at Atapuerca — 850,000 Years Old

Archaeologists excavating the Sierra de Atapuerca site in Burgos, Spain, have uncovered 24 more bones of Homo antecessor, a hominin species that lived around 850,000 years ago, bearing clear signs of cannibalism. Notably, some of the bones belonged to adult individuals, which is a rare find at this site. The discovery adds to understanding of the social and dietary behaviour of one of Europe's earliest known human relatives.
