Some Neanderthals really enjoyed their surf and turf rather than mammoth steaks, according to a new study. The discovery sheds light on Neanderthal populations who relied on the sea as a source of food, in addition to hunting and gathering on land.

Some Neanderthals really enjoyed their surf and turf rather than mammoth steaks, according to a new study.

The recent excavation of a cave site along Portugal's coast revealed a wealth of fossilized remains of food, including fish, birds and mammals. It's estimated that Neanderthals lived in the cave, known as Figueira Brava, between 86,000 and 106,000 years ago. The discovery sheds light on Neanderthal populations who relied on the sea as a source of food, in addition to hunting and gathering on land -- a much different picture than those who were hunting mammoths in bitterly cold climates.
