Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Vane mukurumbira wezvisikwa zvine utsinye zvikuru zvairuma nyama yakawanda, asi kunoratidzika kuti vaNeanderthal vangave chaizvoizvo vakanga vari vakuru vakuru vokutanga. Kutsvakurudza kutsva kuri kupa pfungwa yokuti vanhu vapakuvamba vakatsakatika ava vangave vakashandisa miriwo yomusango kuti vanake zvokudya zvavo. Masayendisiti akawana zvisaririra zvezvinhu zvinowanikwa mucamomile neyarrow muplaque yakaoma yamazino eNeanderthal ane makore 50 000 okuberekwa akawanikwa muEl Sidron, Spain. Neanderthals (inoratidzwa mumufananidzo uri pamusoro apa) vangave vaiva vanhu vokutanga pasi pose vanodya zvokudya zvinonaka - vachishandisa miriwo yakaita seyarrow necamomile kuti vanake nyama yainyanya kudya, maererano nerimwe bhuku idzva rezvesayenzi. Pakutanga vatsvakurudzi vakafunga kuti vangave vakanga vachishandisa miti iyi sorudzi rwokuzvirapa, asi zvino zvakawanwa zvitsva zvakabudisa pfungwa yakasiyana. Dr. Sabrina Krief, mudzidzisi paNational Museum of Natural History muParis, nevamwe vake vanokarakadza kuti vangave vakaashandisa kuita kuti zvokudya zvinake zvikuru. Maererano nedzimwe nyanzvi dzezvinhu zvipenyu, vanhu vekare vangangodaro vaibika zvokudya zvakapiswa muganda remhuka. Mapfupa emhuka akawanikwa munzvimbo dzaizivikanwa kuti dzaigarwa nevanhu vekare anonzi Neanderthal ane zvikamu 90 kubva muzana zvisina mavanga okurumwa. Izvi zvinoratidza kuti mafuta nenyama zvainge zvabviswa pamapfupa acho. Kuongorora mazino evanhu vekare vokuNeanderthal vakawana zvisaririra zvinoratidzawo kuti vangave vaiva nezviyo zvebhari zvaipiswa. Zvisinei, hapana uchapupu hwokuti vaNeanderthal vaiva nemapoto kana kuti mapani okubikisa nawo. Panzvimbo pezvo, Purofesa John Speth, nyanzvi yezvinocherwa mumatongo paUniversity of Michigan, anodavira kuti vaishandisa mapundu emhuka namatanda akapetwa kugadzira masaga umo vaigona kubika zvinhu zvavo. Kudzidza mazino eNeanderthal akawanikwa pane mazino akafanana neaya ari pamusoro apa kunoratidza kuti vaidya zviyo zvakaita sebhari. Vakawana kuti shimpanzi dzomusango muUganda dzinodya marudzi matatu akasiyana-siyana emashizha padzinenge dzichidya nyama yadzinenge dzabata. Vanotaura kuti vanhu vokuNeanderthal vaigonawo kushandisa miriwo kuvandudza zvisikwa zvavo zvokubika nenzira imwe cheteyo. Pane uchapupu hwokuti vaibika zvokudya zvavo uye vangangodaro vakagadzirawo midziyo...
Masayendisiti anoratidza kuti vanhu vekare vaishandisa miriwo yakaita seyarrow necamomile kunatsiridza kunaka kwezvokudya zvavo makore anenge 50 000 akapfuura. Chimpanzi muUganda dzinodyawo zvinomera pamwe chete nenyama yazvo nenzira inofungidzirwa kuti inoita kuti zvokudya zvadzo zvinake saka vatsvakurudzi vanofunga kuti vaNeanderthal vakaitawo saizvozvo. Zvakawanikwa munguva pfupi yapfuura zvinoratidza kuti vaidyawo bhari, maorivhi uye nzungu. Zvakawanikwa zvacho zvinoshandura maonero evanhu vekare veNeanderthal semhuka dzisina unyanzvi.
