Scientists studying a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal shoulder blade found in Shanidar Cave, Iraqi Kurdistan, have identified a 15mm circular hole likely caused by a sharpened wooden spear. Researchers suggest this could represent the earliest evidence of lethal interpersonal violence involving such a weapon, although a hunting accident remains a possibility. This finding adds to a growing body of evidence indicating that human-on-human violence has deep roots in prehistory, predating the advent of farming and permanent settlements.
