This is about as cold as a cold case can get, all the way back to the Ice age.

The evidence, which includes teeth and a carefully butchered jawbone from a site called Les Rois in southwestern France, could represent the world's first known biological proof for direct contact between the two human groups.

I'm confused. I thought the one group evolved from the other group, which would be "proof" that they had direct contact, as the mutated versions of the 2nd group would have coexisted for years within the 1st group while they continued mutating in the new human group.

It certainly speaks to the state of mind of the modern humans. Recognized the Neanderthals as a separate species so available for the menu.

suggests Europe's first humans had a violent relationship with their muscular, big-headed hominid ancestors

I guess that's pretty violent.

Oh, one group didn’t evolve from the other. They just had a common ancestor somewhere along the way. (At least, that seems to be the standard answer.)

1) A cut jawbone and a necklace of teeth is not strong evidence that the Neanderthal was eaten.
2) Early French Dahlmer, one cannibal does not indict all early French as canibals.
