Bones reveal Neanderthal child was eaten by a giant bird
The oldest found human bones in Poland, belonging to a child, have a very porous surface. This hints that the neanderthal child was consumed by a large bird years ago. Because of poor preservation, however, the bones can't be tested for DNA.
I think this is very interesting. Thinking about a giant bird eating a child is pretty metal. It makes you think about the giant size of birds back then and helps readers imagine their humongous bodies. Its actually kind of terrifying that a bird had the size and determination to eat a child.
