HBH 64: Homo Antecessor: The Disturbing Dead End Cannibals of Atapuerca
Recent finds in the Atapuerca site in Spain have confirmed and expanded our understanding of the tates and culinary practices of Homo antecessor. This species is enigmatic and its place in the evolutionary tree unclear.
But what is very clear is that it was cannibalistic. And on a large scale. It had a taste for young hominins, probably from competing tribes. How, you ask, could we possibly know that?
In this epsiode of The History of Being Human, we cover everything we know and how we know it. Height, habitus, habits, diet of animals and hominins, and behavior.
This episode expands significantly on the previous consideration of archaic human cannibalism in episode 3.
