• Resumen

  • Stable isotopes extracted from two hominins and a range of animals from the original Neanderthal site shows these Middle Palaeolithic people to have been hunters predominately on a meat diet. Comparison with other specimens further south suggests this diet - deer, but no fish or plants - to be something of a behavioural norm, whatever the latitude and plant cover.
