    Neandertals may have hunted and eaten outsiders, chilling cannibalism study finds

    A Belgian cave has uncovered evidence suggesting Neandertals selectively hunted and consumed outsiders, targeting women and children. The remains show signs of butchery for meat and marrow, indicating practical cannibalism rather than ritualistic behavior, linked to intergroup conflict. This discovery challenges previous perceptions of Neandertal social dynamics.
