The carbon and nitrogen isotopic abundances of the collagen extracted from the Saint-
Césaire I Neanderthal have been used to infer the dietary behaviour of this specimen. A …

Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of fossil bone collagen reflect those of the average diet,
and can be preserved for tens of thousands of years under favorable conditions. Twelve …

This review traces the colonization of Eurasia by hominids some 1,700,000 years ago and
their subsequent evolution there to 10,000 years ago from a carnivorous perspective. Three …

Over the past several decades a variety of models have been proposed to explain perceived
behavioral and cognitive differences between Neanderthals and modern humans. A key …

Neandertals were effective hunters of large ungulates throughout their geographic and
temporal ranges. Equipped with this knowledge, researchers in paleoanthropology continue …

The prime-adult-dominated mortality profile of large bovids in the 1.8 Ma FLK Zinj
assemblage, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, was recently attributed to ambush hunting by early …

The late Mousterian of Acheulian tradition (MTA) site of Pech-de-l'Azé 1 shows a very
particular stratigraphic sequence characterized by numerous elements not usually found in …

This paper focuses on the question of the existence of collective hunting in Neanderthal
populations. While many Mousterian sites from Western Europe exhibit faunal assemblages …

The great temporal and geographic span of the Middle Paleolithic (MP) raises many
questions about behavioral variation within this period and its evolutionary significance. This …

Whether Neanderthals were capable of behaviours commonly held to be the exclusive
preserve of modern humans—such as abstract thought, language, forward planning, art …
