Polish cave provides proof of Prehistoric cannibalism

[FfFfFfFF 58,308]

Analysis of prehistoric human bones discovered in a cave in Poland has confirmed that the people who inhabited it 18,000 years ago exhibited cannibalistic practices. Researchers believe the cannibalism was likely carried out for ritualistic reasons rather than being necessitated by hunger.

The new study, published in Nature, appears to put to an end a longstanding academic debate about the 63 bone fragments that were first discovered in the 19th century in the Maszycka cave (pictured above) in what is now Ojców National Park in southern Poland.

Studies of the remains, which belonged to Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers from the so-called Magdalenian cultures, conducted in the 1990s suggested that cannibalism had taken place, but that hypothesis was later challenged.

“The Maszycka cave is a very interesting but also very mysterious site,” Marta Połtowicz-Bobak, a Polish archaeologist who led the research, told the Polish Press Agency (PAP). “It is the remnant of an encampment of a group of people who arrived 18,000 years ago from western Europe.”
