Does anyone know if there is any archaeological evidence of Neanderthals (or any other species) with spears in them or any other apparent homicidal fate?

  1. We all know our species was homocidal at least at times.  I have researched to find if there was evidence that we killed off the Neanderthals as I suspect but there wasn't any smoking gun that I could find.  I suspect there were homicidal hominids but the fossil evidence is too sparse and the condition of the available fossils is not good enough to be sure.  Even chimpanzees are occassionally homicidal.  I would like to know if you find out.


  2. Oetzi, the Ice Man, 5300 BP, has an arrowhead imbedded in his shoulder. He was shot from behind, and forensics determined that to be his cause of death...Bleeding!

    He was apparently attacked by homicidal hominids!
