Researchers Discovered The First Direct Evidence That Neanderthals Hunted Cave Lions After Analyzing The Skeleton Of A 48,000-Year-Old Big Cat

The remains date back to 190,000 years ago and may represent the earliest evidence of Neanderthals using a cave lion pelt, possibly for cultural purposes. The nature of the bones prompted researchers to think that the lion’s claws were left within the pelts as aesthetic elements.

The study has changed our understanding of the relationship between ancient humans and the big cat species. It shows that Neanderthals were capable of hunting dangerous predators and using their body parts for cultural reasons.

Initially, these practices were believed to be exclusive to Homo sapiens, but now, we know that Neanderthals were actually the first to engage in these acts, which means that their behavior was far more complex than previously thought.
