Los huesos pertenecían a docenas de babuinos individuales, desde bebés hasta adultos, de dos especies: el babuino hamadryas (Papio hamadryas) y el babuino oliva (Papio anubis).Estas especies no eran nativas de Egipto, sino que fueron importadas de dos regiones: “el babuino olivo del sur (actual Sudán) ...
