The first murder victim in the Bible is Abel, taken out by his brother Kane.

And now we have what looks to be the earliest known homicide to be confirmed by scientists.

A new study concludes that human remains, found at an archaeological site in northern Spain are from

someone who is bludgeoned to death about 430,000 years ago.

The findings are in the journal PLOS 1.

The researchers pieced together 52 skull fragments found in an underground cave.

Two holes above the left eye socket are especially diagnostic.

A blow that would create either hole would probably be deadly.

And the lack of any signs of healing around the holes implies either that the impacts were lethal or occurred after death.

The absence of any cut marks on the skull helps rule out post-mortem cannibalism or rituals that could have caused the observed damage.

The discovery of the body in a cave could mean that the victim was moved there.

The find would thus be evidence for ancient burial practices,

unless the murderer was just hiding the body.

This exceedingly cold-case crime scene investigation shows that even before the emergence of

modern humans some 200,000 years ago, violence and murder were a part of life. The perpetrators

remains remain at large. Thanks for the minute. For Scientific American 60 Second Science,
