  Sometimes I think that this amputation could also be the result of a punishment. Pardon my dark fantasy. ;)

    Or animal bite.

    But then they wouldn’t have done the post-op care

      Depends how dedicated they were to the punishment process.

  Why not a weapon injury? Because they didn't have sharp swords etc 31000 years ago? Well, we're to believe they had sharp surgical instruments... This doesn't add up.
