Ancient Neanderthal Skeleton Shows Signs of Lethal Violence and Earlier Care
Researchers studying a skeleton from Shanidar Cave have found evidence of a fatal attack, with injuries possibly caused by a wooden spear. The individual, a Neanderthal who lived around 75,000 years ago, also had earlier injuries, suggesting others may have looked after them. Investigators believe the remains point to both a deliberate assault and a degree of social support within the group. The find offers a glimpse into how early humans could be both violent and compassionate. It also hints that their emotional responses may have resembled those of modern people.
