Neanderthals ran ‘fat factory’ 125,000 years ago, study finds

Primitive human beings who live 125,000 years in what is now that modern Germany has extracted and ate fats from animal bones through the process of preparing an organized food described as a “fat factory”.

While excavating a former scene site in the lake called Neumark Nord, archaeologists discovered thousands of bones from at least 172 large mammals, along with the archaeological pieces. The bones, which dated a period between the icebergs in which primitive humans lived, were animals such as red deer and horses, according to a study published on July 2 in Science Advances.

While many bones that have a lower bone marrow spread across the archaeological site, the researchers noted that many bones rich in marrow were present in groups-sites they call “fat factories”.

The researchers believe that our extinct ancestors used tools to break bones into small fragments and then boil them for hours. The grease, which then floats on the surface of the water, can be drained from the top and eating it-which provides a thick calorie food source for old people.

Before that, it was evidence of this practice dated only to 28,000 years, according to the research.

Dr. Lutz Kindler, the first author of the study, said: “Principles were clearly running resources clearly-fishing planning, transporting bodies, and making fats in a special area of ​​the mission,” said Dr. Lutz Kindler, the first author of the study. “They understood both the nutritional value of the fat and how to access it efficiently – most likely involve temporary storage parts in places in the scene later to transfer to the lamb site.

The fat was a “sustainable life” resource for Anandal, especially during the winter and spring seasons when carbohydrates were rare. The research indicated that diets are largely composed of animal protein, and the consumption of a lot of protein without other nutrients can lead to a deadly condition sometimes called protein poisoning.

“The huge size and its exceptional preservation of the Neuark Nord website gives us a unique opportunity to study how primitive humans affect their environment, both the lives of animals and plants,” said Dr. Volco Shergon, Data Manager and Computer World in the project. “This is very rare for this old site – and opens new possibilities for future research.”

In recent years, scientists have also discovered that primitive humans have gone into diving for seashells that they could determine the stone hammers in thin and sharp edges. Likewise, another study indicated that primitive humans may have buried their dead with flowers.
