Researchers have uncovered evidence from two Israeli caves suggesting that Neanderthals prepared food in unique ways, distinct from each other. The discovery, which sheds light on the cooking habits of our ancient ancestors, reveals that Neanderthals butched prey using similar tools and methods, despite their geographical separation. This finding highlights the diversity of cooking techniques among early human populations, challenging the traditional view that modern humans were the pioneers of food preparation and cooking.
