New research on bones found in Belgium's Goit caves reveals Neanderthals weren't just surviving — they were deliberately targeting and cannibalizing women and children from rival groups 45,000 years ago. All six individuals found were outsiders. Their bones were processed identically to animal prey. Defleshed. Marrow extracted. Researchers call it exocannibalism — the targeted consumption of rival group members, possibly to weaken their reproductive capacity. This was happening at the very end of the Neanderthal era, right as Homo sapiens were arriving in nearby Germany. 🦴👀
