Evidence of Cannibalism Unearthed in 18,000-Year-Polish Cave
- Human remains found in Maszycka Cave in Poland suggest that at least 10 individuals, including six adults and four children, were victims of cannibalization during warfare.
- The remains showed signs of butchering alongside animal bones, indicating a lack of respectful burial and suggesting conflict over resources.
- Francesc Marginedas, the study's lead author, stated that the cut marks indicate that the bodies were processed for food rather than for funerary purposes.
- This discovery places Maszycka Cave among five known sites in Europe that provide evidence of prehistoric human cannibalism, dated between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago.
