Neanderthals’ Secret Snack: Maggots?!

Turns out, Neanderthals weren’t just hardcore meat lovers—they had a taste for maggots, too! New research suggests their high nitrogen levels (which made them seem like total carnivores) might actually be from munching on maggot-infested, putrid meat. Apparently, ancient humans (and some Indigenous groups) saw these squirmy snacks as a fatty, nutritious delicacy. Who knew the OG paleo diet included bugs? Would you try it if it meant surviving the Ice Age? #History #Neanderthals #AncientDiet
