New Evidence for Neanderthal Violence

04/22/2002 5:15 PM EDT

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID

WASHINGTON (AP) - Perhaps it was a fight over food or a mate.
For some reason, someone whacked a Neanderthal over the head
with a sharp weapon 36,000 years ago in what is now France.

The BBC and MSNBC articles have a drawing of a
reconstruction - presumably the skull pieces shown actually
resemble the find.

I haven't read them all closely yet, but it looks like one
possibility is not mentioned - the chap could have been gored
by an animal.

paste quote from referenced article:

"The location and angle of the cut indicate that the
individual attacked was either in front of or behind the
victim, the Zollikofer's team reported."

Wow, that's really pinning it down. Nothing like precise
science.
