Early humans may have survived harsh winters more than 400,000 years ago by HIBERNATING

Early humans may have survived harsh winters more than 400,000 years ago by slowing down their metabolisms and hibernating for months, fossil experts reveal. New evidence from bones dug up from an ancient mass grave in northern Spain suggests we may have dealt with extreme cold hundreds of thousands of years ago strategically, by sleeping through the winter. The fossils dating back 400,000 years to early Neanderthals or their predecessors, show months of interrupted bone growth. Early humans may have survived harsh winters more than 400,000 years ago by adopting a strategy of cave hibernation - slowing down their metabolisms and sleeping for months

Even European hedgehogs do it. And now it turns out that early human beings may also have been at it. They hibernated, according to fossil experts. Evidence from bones found at one of the world’s most important fossil sites suggests that our hominid predecessors may have dealt with extreme cold hundreds of thousands of years ago by sleeping through the winter. The scientists argue that lesions and other signs of damage in fossilised bones of early humans are the same as those left in the bones of other animals that hibernate. These suggest that our predecessors coped with the ferocious winters at that time by slowing down their metabolisms and sleeping for months.

Early humans may have hibernated to weather harsh winters, say researchers

Early humans may have hibernated to weather harsh winters, say researchers Rory Sullivan © Provided by The Independent Early humans could have hibernated to survive harsh winters like some modern animals do, researchers have suggested. Scientists came to the conclusion after examining fossilised human remains found in a cave burial chamber known as Sima de los Huesos – or the “Pit of Bones” – at the Atapuerca archaeological site near Burgos in northern Spain. Using microscopes and CT scanning, the academics discovered that the bones, which are roughly 430,000 years old, had lesions and other bone damage similar to those seen in animals that hibernate.
