Neanderthals are commonly seen as ferocious carnivores, but a study of
their dental plaque has found they were adaptable, changing their diet
to suit local conditions. In what is now modern-day Belgium, this did
indeed mean a dinner of woolly rhinoceros, but on the Iberian
Peninsular, they chose a meal of mushrooms. More surprisingly, it seems
they had a knowledge of herbal medicine we have only recently matched.
