Archaeologists uncovered a 125,000-year-old "fat factory" at Neumark-Nord 2 in Germany. Neanderthals demonstrated advanced techniques to extract fat from large animal bones. 

This finding suggests a deep understanding of nutrition and resource management. The evidence reveals organized hunting and butchering practices, challenging the notion that Neanderthals were primitive. 

The research indicates they strategically managed their environment and optimized nutritional resources. This fundamentally alters perceptions of Neanderthal dietary practices.
