  • A major archaeological discovery at Neumark-Nord shows that Neanderthals had organised methods of food processing.
  • The site is located in Germany and dates back to around 125,000 years ago.
  • Archaeologists found thousands of animal bones broken in a systematic pattern to extract marrow and fat.
  • The bones were further crushed and heated to obtain grease, showing planned and repeated activity.
  • This proves that Neanderthals had advanced survival skills and a proper understanding of nutrition.
  • The site was used repeatedly, indicating it worked like a specialised processing area or “factory”.
