The first people to live at high elevations snacked on giant mole rats
About 94 percent of the discarded animal bones at the site came from the large rodents—burn marks at the extremities suggest that people preferred roasting them whole. The few other bones in the cave came from various bovid species, a fox, and even some baboons (which forage in the high grasslands of the Ethiopian plateau and sleep on cliffside ledges).
