Still Waters Posted August 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Neanderthals had the brains and guile to catch and eat birds, a skill many had assumed was beyond them. Bones found in Gibraltar suggest Neanderthals hunted wild pigeons, possibly by climbing steep cliffs to reach their nests. http://www.newscient...ml#.U-Tn9aOg4dU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonFromPorlock Posted August 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I thought the "brutish" Neanderthal was laid to rest forty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifonly Posted August 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought Neanderthals had brains as large and complex as modern humans, they fashioned tools, held burial rituals and if we are to believe current research bred with humans. i don't think putting pigeon on the menu would have been beyond them.
