(AP Photo / Martin Meissner)Archaeologists in Poland have identified the prehistoric bones of a Neandertal child eaten by a large bird.
Science in Poland reports that the small bones of the hand were found in a cave in the Malopolska region in southern Poland. Discovered a few years ago, it was thought that the remains were animal bones until they were analyzed earlier this year.
According to Professor Pawel Valde-Nowak, from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, small holes in the bones indicate that they passed through the digestive system of a large bird. It is not clear, however, if the bird attacked and ate the young Neanderthal or stole the remains of a dead child.
CLIMATE CHANGE KILLED FROM NEANDERALS, THE STUDY SAYS
It is believed to be approximately 115,000 years old, bones are the oldest human remains ever discovered in Poland.
Experts from Jagiellonian University and the University of Washington in St. Louis confirmed that the remains are digital bones of a child's hand.
The Archaeological Museum of Krakow and the Polish Academy of Sciences also participated in the research, which will be published in the Paleolithic Archeology Journal.
THE PREHISTORIC TEETH REVEALS SURPRISING DETAILS ABOUT THE LONG LOST HUMAN "WINES"
The human species closest to homo sapiens, the Neanderthals, lived in Eurasia for some 350,000 years. Scientists in Poland report that Neanderthals in Europe mostly went extinct 35,000 years ago. However, there are several theories about the timing of the Neanderthal extinction, and experts say it could have happened 40,000, 27,000 or 24,000 years make.
In a separate study, researchers recently reported that climate change may have played a more important role in the extinction of Neanderthals than previously thought.
