Early cavemen in Europe ate human meat as part of their everyday diet, new research suggests. A new study of fossil bones in the Gran Dolina cave in Spain shows that cannibalism was a normal part of daily life around 800,000 years ago among Europe's first humans. The area surrounding the caves would have been a rich source of food so there would have been little need to turn to cannibalism as a last resort. Children will have been targeted as they would have been less capable of defending themselves, the study suggests.
