A new study has provided the oldest direct evidence of Neanderthals hunting cave lions. The study analyzed DNA in the soils of Siberia's Denisova Cave, revealing that it hosted Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans, possibly at the same time. The emerging field of deep-time paleogenomics, which utilizes improvements in laboratory and computational methods, is expanding the range of questions that can be addressed using ancient DNA. Another study focuses on the use of chimpanzee-modified faunal assemblages to investigate early hominin carnivory. The impact of farming on prehistoric culinary practices throughout Northern Europe is also explored.
