 | About 65,000 years ago, a large carnivore — perhaps a cave hyena — chomped on the face of a Neanderthal. The carnivore partially digested two of the hominin's teeth before regurgitating them. They were found at the archaeological site of Marillac, near the village of Marillac-le-Franc in the west of France. |  |
 | In addition to butchered animal bones, the site also contains Neanderthal bones that have similar marks on them. This could indicate that Neanderthals were cannibals. The now-extinct cave hyena was probably the most dangerous carnivore that Neanderthals faced. |  |
