	Gods Graves Glyphs	Homo heidelbergensis, believed to be ancestor to Neandertal... The Neandertal Enigma by James Shreeve in local libraries Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe."

tasted like chicken, no doubt...

Well of course Cavemen (early humans) roasted birds.

It is necessary to roast or cook fowl because of the way they are factory processed. The processing leaves it susceptible to various types of contamination, especially when processed outside the U.S.

They prolly ate it raw a few times, got sick, and started roasting them. IMO

“The birds were de-fleshed using both stone tools and teeth,”

Bet they wished they had the Ronco Bird Deflesher-o-matic, which they could have had for just six easy payments.
Imagine using your teeth to remove bird flesh from the bone!

Squab and polenta. Very tasty!

So, some scientist is telling us what went on 150,000 years ago according to some “marks” on some bird bones. I’ve never really went along with any of these long ago pronouncements, but now that the climate “scientists” have been shown to be frauds, I have even less inclination to believe any of them.

"The acquiring of fast-running and quick-flying small prey requires a sophisticated technology and involves obtaining and processing ways different from those used for large and medium-sized animals," according to the scientists,..."

Or you submerge yourself in the swamp, wait for the ducks to come near and grab 'em from underneath. If several guys were waiting in the reeds at one end of a pond others on land could approach slowly from the other end and herd the ducks into the trap.

That's not what I learned when I was a kid.

[calex59]

I am sure they ate whatever the he** they could catch. Why do these idiots act surprised that cavemen would eat birds? I bet they ate what ever was available when they couldn’t find big game to kill, which probably happened more often than one might think.

[Safetgiver]

They determined three characteristics allow the bird remains to be considered duck dinner leftovers.

First, they found “cutmarks on bones of both the front and hind limb.”..Say, what? Ducks have two hind limbs, unless years ago they had four or one in front and one in back.
