Around 48,000 years ago, Neanderthals (members of the extinct Homo genus from the Pleistocene era) killed a cave lion by thrusting a wooden spear into its abdomen.
This discovery is the first direct evidence that Neanderthals hunted cave lions, and the oldest evidence that hominids killed large predators. However, according to zooarchaeologist Gabriele Russo and his team, this behavior may have started much earlier in Neanderthals, as revealed in Scientific Reports.
The translation of the given text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is: "Russo said, from the University of Tübingen in Germany."
The researchers also studied three cave lion claw bones from another site in Germany, estimated to be at least 190,000 years old. These bones, discovered in 2019, originally belonged to the skin taken by Neanderthals from a recently killed cave lion (Panthera spelaea).
Stab wounds on the rib bones of the cave lion skeleton, which was excavated in 1985, resemble marks from a wooden spear impact. Based on the angle of the wounds, the hunter approached the lion, possibly an old male lion, from behind and stabbed it in the lower abdomen while lying on the right side.
