Belgian Neanderthals were eating each other 40,000 years ago, new research has shown. Neanderthals were a human subspecies that lived in Europe and western Asia for hundreds of thousands of years before becoming extinct between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago. Four bones from Goyet clearly suggest that Neanderthals also used the remains of their deceased as tools. Not only were they cannibals, but the Neanderthals appear to have fashioned tools out of the bones of their own kind. The grisly discovery was made in a cave where scientists found bones bearing marks left by intentional butchering.
