Researchers led by Dr. Shirad Galmor have explored the dietary role of small carnivores, such as foxes and wildcats, in Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B societies at the Aihud site in the Levant. Findings suggest that these animals were a crucial part of hunter-gatherer diets, providing essential nutrients and indicating a broader diet than previously understood.
