Our Human Relatives Butchered and Ate Each Other 1.45 Million Years Ago-Breaking News out of the Smithsonian

Amazing work by one of my mentors, and friend of WOPA, paleo dietary expert, Dr. Briana Pobiner!

While of course this “doesn’t change everything we know” as no one single find shall, the added information, and idea that hominin could have been, or did feed on their fellow hominin, is, in my mind a new thought. Cannibalism sure, but possibly hunting down other species as prey?

Hehe…food for thought.

I am a Paleoanthropology Student, so far with two degrees, in Anthropology and Human Behavioral Science, pursuing my B.A and then my PhD I love to read (like a lot) and write, I love my family, and I adore anthropology! Remember, never stop exploring and never stop learning! There is always more to learn!
