Germany find reveals advanced Neanderthal food processing

Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a Neanderthal "fat factory" in Germany, revealing advanced resource management skills. This suggests a sophisticated understanding of nutrition and efficient food processing. The site, dating back 125,000 years, contained over 100,000 bone fragments from large mammals, showing cut marks and intentional breakage for marrow and grease extraction. This is the earliest evidence of such large-scale bone processing. This discovery adds to evidence that Neanderthals were more intelligent than previously thought, demonstrating their ability to plan hunts and manage resources. The research was published in Science Advances.
