Ancient remains from a cave in Serbia show that Neanderthals
were hunting mountain goats 300,000 years ago, adding to evidence of their
ability to adapt to different environments
Did the
early Neanderthals hunt Ibex sheep many
years ago? According to research, they did that, but according to the Bible, they were
descendants of Adam and Noah as secular scientists do not believe in Noah’s
Flood. That also minimize the dates of the global flood.
Nearly 300,000 years ago, Neanderthals had already figured out how to hunt mountain goats along vertical cliffs and process them in well-organised camps.
Known for ambushing large animals in Western Europe’s flat
meadows and forests, it seems Neanderthals adapted to the hills of Eastern
Europe by adding nimble ibex to their hunting regime. The early humans skinned
and butchered the animals in a nearby cave before roasting their bones for
marrow and grease, showing impressive skill and knowledge far earlier than
expected, says Stefan
Milošević at the University of Belgrade in Serbia.
