Oldest bones ever found in Poland dating back 115,000 years belonged to Neanderthal child whose fingers were ‘chewed by a giant bird’

The discovery of finger bones from the hand of the Neanderthal child are more than twice as old as the previous oldest find of hominid bones in the area - the remains of three teeth dated to 52,000-54,000 years. The child may have been attacked and killed by a bird of prey or a scavenger may have chewed its hand after death.
