Pretty interesting stuff.
That’s a big ####ing bird!!!
You’d need like 20 pounds of stuffing!!
So Big Bird is Polish?
Was probably flipping the bird off, and got his finger bitten off.
So remember next time you eat a chicken sandwich, you are only evening the score.
ROFL!!!!
Revenge never leads to any good!!!!
Unless it’s got great gravy on it and good sides.

‘Terror Birds’ were in South America, not Europe.
More likely passed through a vulture.
In Paleolithic Age, chicken eat you.
So the bird raided a Neanderthal cave and was killed there after eating the kid? Or did the bird eat the kid and the Neanderthals kill it and drag it back home?
It seems odd that bones belonging to a Neanderthal who passed through a giant bird would be found in the camp/cave of his fellow Neanderthals.
The kid was bird bait.
Those look like Terror birds and as a commenter pointed out at the source, they were long gone before this child died.

Not if the Neanderthals caught him and cooked him for dinner.
Well, the bird is the word.
(Thought you guys had us there for awhile, I’m stunned we were able to come back)
Died out 40 million years ago, they were closer to the dinosaurs than the Neanderthals.
But they call the kid "a poor child." So even without DNA testing they were able to discover the socio-economic status of the kid's family.
” they come from a very deep layer of the cave,
Dr. Valde-Nowak added that just because the bones were discovered in the cave, it doesnt necessarily mean that the Neanderthals used it as a permanent residence. He said that it is entirely possible that they just used it seasonally”
And shared it with large carnivorous birds? Or maybe the birds just liked to use the cave as a bathroom? How about the Neanderthals brought the bird poop into the cave themselves? And the final question? How did they determine that the partially digested bone had passed through a bird and not , say a sabre tooth tiger? Just askin
How many giant, Polish birds does it take
to eat the Neanderthal child?
