Neanderthals captured cave birds at night for their own consumption

The use of torches and a good night vision facilitated the capture of choughs, birds that used caves to sleep and were difficult to see during the day. The study was conducted by the National Museum of Natural Science of Spain (MNCM) and the Doñana Biological Station, both from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and the Institut counts with the participation of the Catalan Institute of Palaeontology Miquel Crusafont.
