Study reveals that ravens were attracted to humans' food more than 30,000 years ago NatureEcoEvo
Wild animals entered into diverse relationships with humans long before the first settlements were established in the Neolithic period around 10,000 years ago. An international study by researchers from the Universities of Tübingen, Helsinki and Aarhus presents new evidence that ravens helped themselves to people's scraps and picked over mammoth carcasses left by human hunters during the Pavlovian culture more than 30,000 years ago in what is now Moravia in the Czech Republic.
, Chris Baumann described a general framework for the study showing that animal-human coexistence goes back deep into the Pleistocene. In it, he argued that such relationships likely shaped early ecosystems.Ravens have a very wide food spectrum, are curious and flexible in their behavior. Their bones were discovered in large numbers at the archaeological sites of Předmostí, Pavlov I, and Dolní Věstonice I in southern Moravia.
"These ravens fed predominantly on the meat of large herbivores, often mammoth, much like humans did at the time," Chris Baumann explains."We draw the conclusion that they were attracted to mammoth carcasses available near human camps."
