And there's a neolithic family, and by all research accounts here, all the evidence that we've been able to find was massacred. They were massacred, they were skinned, deflushed, cooked, and eaten in a cave. In a, 5,600 years ago, and this is a new study, this new study is showing this, showing the evidence for this. There was just found evidence that at least 11 people, including adults, adolescents, and children, remained in the victims of warfare of capitalism during an event at the El Mirador cave in northern Spain. In both, found had cut marks, human bite marks, fractures for marrow extraction, and signs that had been boiled, according to the research of finding. This was published Thursday, this was past Thursday, August 7th, in a general scientific report. In the event, it happened over a short period, during the final phase of the neolithic, or the Stone Age, occupation of the cave, when farming, agriculture was more prevalent in the region. And researchers only speculate that intergroup violence caused the apparent cannibalization. They couldn't find any signs of ritual or famine or that might otherwise explain the event. This isn't either a funerary tradition or a response to a screen samurai. This is a study co-author, sent in a statement, in fact his direct quote was the evidence point to a violent episode, given how quickly all could place possible the result of conflict between neighbouring farming communities. Maybe there was no food around, no animals or anything, they figured what the heck, they'd eat whatever they could find. K.B.3.J.Q.Q. And, uh, yeah, back then, Scott, that was another reason for that too, is when food sources get low, even other animals, there's orca-cabolism too, when food resources are getting scarcer or non-existent. And so this isn't the first time, this isn't the first time researchers found the evidence of cannibalization in that particular cave in the 2000s. Archaeologists uncovered the remains of six individuals, similar marks to those in this new study. Those remains were younger, they were from the early Bronze Age, about 4600 to 4100 years ago, and related to the hunt is a newly identified older bone discovered in subsequent excavations, and that's according to the study, is nothing. And the researchers, they, uh, uh, revealed carbon data to bones, uh, in this case, uh, and they found them to come in around 5,709 to 5,573 years. And a chemical analysis determined they were local to the region and butchered over a short period, and the victims range from age, uh, ages younger than seven to over 50, and it's likely that we are extended family.
