Coexistence in the mid-Middle Paleolithic Levant was likely driven by climate-fueled prey diversification rather than hunting specialization.

New Research Alert! Our latest paper in the Journal of Quaternary Science.
Did Middle Paleolithic humans choose their prey, or were they just facing the same ecological pressures as other large predators?

Our new paper analyzes the MIS 5 hyena den and porcupine lair faunal assemblage at Geula Cave, Israel. The data reveals that hyenas and hominins targeted a virtually identical, highly diverse pool of ungulates.
Who would have thought - ten years!
On my first visit to Geula Cave in the summer of 2016, inspecting the fauna from the test trench and inside the cave together with Talia Abulafia at the end of the excavation.
📢Publication is coming soon!
