Researchers analysed cut marks on human remains from Maszycka Cave in Poland .

They found evidence of 'whole-body manipulation for consumption' at the site.

Experts analysed a set of 63 human bone fragments, including skulls and long limb bones.

68 per cent showed evidence of human manipulation, including cut marks and intentional fractures from human consumption.

The last Glacial Maximum was around 22,000 years ago when much of Europe was covered in ice.

Average temperatures were 5C (8F) colder than they are today , allowing a one-kilometre-thick sheet of ice to cover much of the country.

Over time the ice and its hefty waterflows carved out the land, forming geological scars that can still be seen today .
