As 'drops says, your versions is correct if you drop the comma. You can move parts of a sentence around from the "normal" order with commas:
Normal: Hyenas gathered 9 Neanderthal skeletons by eating them.
Move with comma: By eating them, hyenas gathered 9 Neanderthal skeletons.
Normal: I think it will rain later.
Move with comma: It will rain later, I think.
- Talanes 5y agoCould also get weird and stuff it in the middle. >Hyenas gathered, by eating them, 9 Neanderthal skeletons. Which is even more awkward in actual use, but does make obvious the biggest problem with the sentence: you don't gather things by eating them.
