A recent archaeological study reveals that approximately 10,000 years ago, foxes and wildcats were significant components of the human diet in what is now Western Galilee, Israel.
Researchers have previously linked the numerous small carnivore bones discovered in ancient Levant settlements to fur harvesting and cultural practices, such as using teeth for ornaments.
However, new findings by a team from Tel Aviv University led by Shirad Galmor indicate a different perspective on the relationship between ancient humans and these wild animals.
