#Neanderthal bones from the Goyet caves 🇧🇪 show traces of cannibalism. It now appears that all the victims were women and children. Moreover, they did not come from the Goyet region but were brought there. #sciencenews

🦴 New study reveals how teen growth and puberty shape the femur from inside out.
Analyzing medieval femora, researchers found sex-specific “medullary contractions” during adolescence—especially in females & varying by region

Did Neandertals choose their prey when practicing cannibalism?🍖
Check out our new study, just published in Scientific Reports - @natureportfolio.nature.com!
We provide the strongest evidence to date for a highly selective cannibalism at the end of Neandertal lineage, 41-45.000 years ago.
