description: This study uses ecological niche theory to analyze and interpret several Middle Palaeolithic archaeological and palaeontological sites in southern Europe. The hunting, scavenging and foraging behaviour of Neandertals is compared and contrasted with the subsistence behaviour of other large predators living in the region at the time - lions, hyenas and wolves, for example - and with how Neandertal subsistence behaviour related to the behaviour of the anatomically modern humans who subsequently came to dominate the area in the Upper Paleolithic.
