Abstract
Archaeologically preserved ‘hunting lesions’ — skeletal damage on prey resulting from weapon impacts — provide clear evidence that humans engaged in hunting. Writing in Nature Ecology & Evolution, Gaudzinski-Windheuser et al.1 present the earliest unambiguous examples of hunting lesions, discovered in faunal collections from the 120,000-year-old Neanderthal site of Neumark-Nord 1 in Germany. Their work demonstrates that Neanderthals hunted prey and sheds light on their hunting strategies, such as the kinds of prey they exploited, whether throwing or thrusting was employed, and in what kinds of habitat they hunted.
