    The Neanderthals at Neumark-Nord 2 represent the earliest https://t.co/mZLAeIDHzK known human population to engage in large-scale, systematic extraction of within-bone nutrients such as marrow and grease. Large-scale processing of within-bone nutrients by Neanderthals, 125,000

Abstract Synopsis

  • Neanderthals 125,000 years ago were involved in the large-scale extraction of nutrients from animal bones, specifically focusing on obtaining bone grease, a vital fat resource.
  • This practice highlights the significance of dietary strategies in human evolution and showcases a form of resource intensification that was previously thought to be exclusive to Upper Paleolithic populations.
  • Archaeological evidence from Neumark-Nord, Germany, indicates that these Neanderthals processed at least 172 large mammals at a site dedicated to extracting lipids, expanding our understanding of their adaptations and survival techniques.
