Hunting hints
An ancient ambush of wild horses at a German archaeological site called Schöningen around 300,000 years ago suggests that communal hunting, along with complex social and mental skills, evolved much earlier in human history than thought, behavioral sciences writer Bruce Bower reported in “Smart hunters.”
Bower also noted that Neandertal ancestors in what’s now Spain conducted communal bison hunts around 400,000 years ago. The groups would drive bison herds to the edge of an underground cave, where the animals plunged to their deaths.
