AI reveals leopards hunted & ate our ancestors 2 million years ago
A new study using AI reveals that leopards likely hunted and consumed Homo habilis humans in East Africa 1.8-1.85 million years ago. Two fossils from the early human species were analysed, during which researchers identified carnivore tooth marks. The research highlights how AI can accurately identify ancient predator-prey interactions, shedding light on early human vulnerability to big cats.
