Early Europeans may have eaten their enemies’ brains, archaeologists say
Ancient humans living in Europe may have scooped out the brains of their dead enemies and eaten them, a new study suggests.
In the study, published last week in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers examined the bones of at least 10 people from the Magdalenian culture who lived in Europe 11,000–17,000 years ago.
Using imaging techniques, the team of researchers from institutes in France, Spain and Poland identified types of marks and cuts "associated with the removal of the marrow in the long bones and the brain in the skulls."
Multiple other studies have shown that cannibalism was relatively common among Magdalenian people, both as a funerary rite and гей порно большой as a form of violence.
