Evidence of bones found at one of the world's most important fossil sites suggests
Scientists claim that defeats and otherssigns of damage in the fossilized bones of early humans coincide with damage to bones in other animals that hibernate. This suggests that our predecessors coped with cold winters by slowing down their metabolism.
The findings are based on excavations in the Cima de los Huesos cave in northern Spain.

As researchers describe in a scientific journalL’Anthropologie, they excavated this site for the first time. Fossils found there showed seasonal variations, suggesting that bone growth was disrupted for several months each year.
They suggest that ancient people were "inmetabolic conditions that helped them survive for long periods of time in cold conditions. This function helped them live with limited food supplies and sufficient body fat. Hibernation influenced the fact that the development of bones was disturbed.
