Remains of animal bones and stone tools at some Neanderthal sites suggested that these people ate large amounts of meat, but these were not accepted by many scientists as definitive evidence that they were hunters, with more highly developed skills in planning and organizing their food-gathering forays, and not just scavengers. "It was impossible, from the archaeological evidence alone, to see the actual proportion of meat in their diets," Dr. Smith said. Similar tests are planned to determine if the same heavy meat-eating behavior by Neanderthals extended to temperate climates, like the Middle East. With the bangers and the burgers and the hey hey hey.
