研究发现以色列邻近洞穴中尼安德特人独特的屠宰传统
摘要
研究人员发现，5万年前生活在以色列北部两处洞穴中的尼安德特人使用了不同的肉类切割技术，表明存在地方文化传统和习得行为。
一项最新研究揭示，约5万年前居住在以色列北部相距不到45英里的两处洞穴中的尼安德特人，采用了显著不同的动物尸体屠宰方法。该研究由耶路撒冷希伯来大学和伦敦自然历史博物馆的团队共同进行，重点分析了来自凯巴拉洞穴和阿穆德洞穴动物骨骼上的切割痕迹。
尽管石器技术和猎捕动物种类相似，分析显示阿穆德洞穴的骨骼上切割痕迹更密集且不规则，而凯巴拉洞穴的则相对较少。研究人员认为，这些差异更可能反映了不同的屠宰技术，而非工具或猎物的差异。
领导该研究的博士生安娜尔·扎隆表示，这些发现可能表明在处理动物尸体方面存在地方传统。“阿穆德和凯巴拉之间切割痕迹模式的细微差异，可能反映了处理动物尸体的地方传统，”扎隆说道。她补充说，这些方法很可能是代代相传的，暗示尼安德特人群体之间存在社会学习和文化差异。
尽管该研究为理解尼安德特人行为提供了新见解，研究人员强调由于部分骨骼样本的零散性，仍需进一步研究。扎隆指出，更多的实验研究和更广泛的比较有助于澄清这些古老实践的全部范围。

✓
Confirmed
Neanderthals inhabiting two caves less than 45 miles apart in northern Israel around 50,000 years ago used notably different methods to butcher animal carcasses.
✓
Confirmed
The research, conducted by a team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and London’s Natural History Museum, focused on cut marks found on animal bones from Kebara and Amud caves.
✓
Confirmed
Despite similarities in stone tool technology and the types of animals hunted, the analysis showed that bones from Amud Cave bore denser and more irregular cut marks compared to those from Kebara.
✓
Confirmed
The researchers concluded that these differences likely reflect distinct butchery techniques rather than variations in tools or prey.

Not Confirmed
PhD student Annal Zalon, who led the study, said the findings may indicate the presence of local traditions in processing animal carcasses.
✓
Confirmed
She added that these methods were probably passed down through generations, suggesting social learning and cultural variation among Neanderthal groups.
✓
Confirmed
While the study provides new insights into Neanderthal behavior, the researchers emphasized the need for further investigation due to the fragmentary nature of some bone samples.
