I'm impressed: the coprolite was almost ten inches long.

Hairs that likely belonged to humans living 195,000 to 257,000 years ago in Africa have been identified in fossilized brown hyena dung
There is no way to be positive without DNA testing
Wood said that, "in the spirit of Cluedo (a mystery crime fiction board game), the Backwell study shows that hyenas must be taken seriously as a possible perpetrator of this 'crime.'"
Hyenas are scavengers. They'll eat anything that gets in their way.
The findings, which have been accepted for publication in the Journal of Archaeological Science, further suggest that early humans faced tough competition from carnivores that either attacked the individuals outright, or scavenged on their dead.
Ya think? If humans are really this old, I would imagine every animal alive ate them, dead or alive. A large rat would probably have been a menace.

Thus, the early Homo heidelbergensis expression: "It's a jungle out there!"

LOL Parfive!
Well, homo habilis started creating tools 2 million years ago, so I would bet they put them to good use on lots of different predators and prey. So, my question is: how much hyena hair have they found in human poop?
