(CNN)The discovery of the ancient remains of nine Neanderthals, a pack of hyenas and several elephants in the Guattari Cave near the Italian resort town of San Felice Circeo has astounded archaeologists, who have long suspected that a considerable population lived in the area.

"It is an extraordinary discovery," Dario Franceschini, Italy's cultural minister, said in a statement. "The whole world will be talking about it."

One of the Neanderthals dates back 90,000 to 100,000 years, according to a statement by the Italian Cultural Ministry, while the other eight date back 50,000 to 60,000 years. All were male, and one is suspected to have been younger than the others.

Discoveries of ventilation holes in the ceiling of the cave had led some anthropologists to believe that Neanderthals also engaged in ritual cannibalism, according to the ministry, which added that some of the discovered bones had been burned.

It smacks of the re-writing of historical figures to claim that they were great because they were from a minority.

it's the beginning of the rehabilitation of Old White Men...

Was there a theory attributing the redhead gene to Neanderthals?

There was, and apparently there were some aboriginals in east Asia with red hair and Neanderthal genes. But I believe there has been more detailed DNA analysis which shows that the Neanderthal genes inherited don't include ginger-vitis.

Abducted by Aliens to fight a race of feral, space faring cats.

Or the hungry Scots just ate them. After all, many is the time I look at Nichola Sturgeon and I can imagine her tucking into a Centurions bicep.

When your diet consists of haggis and oat beer, a little Italian food would be nice.
