The analysis of the faunal remains from Middle Stone Age deposits of Magubike rockshelter was undertaken to contribute to the modern human behavior debate. Multivariate taphonomic analyses implicate hominins as the key taphonomic agent in the accumulation and modification of the faunal assemblage. Results also show they mainly foraged on large-sized animals as the key sources of meat and marrow. Small-sized animals were also exploited to maximize the foraging net return rates, but only in relatively small quantities. There is evidence that they transported and systematically processed fleshed or relatively complete carcasses. The majority of the cut-marked elements are the high-meat and marrow-bearing bones. The percentages of cut and percussion marks on long bone midshafts fall within the range of variations documented in experimental simulations that sought to replicate hominin primary (early) access to fully fleshed carcasses. There is also evidence that carnivores were scavenging bone fragments discarded by hominins.

对马格比克岩棚的中石器时代沉积物的动物区系进行了分析，为现代人类行为辩论做出了贡献。多元同源分析表明，人类素是动物群聚集和修饰过程中的关键同源因子。结果还表明，它们主要在大型动物身上觅食，是肉类和骨髓的主要来源。还利用了小型动物来最大限度地提高觅食的净回报率，但数量​​相对较少。有证据表明，它们运输并系统地加工了有肉的或相对完整的ses体。大部分带有标记的元素是高肉和含骨髓的骨头。长骨中轴上的割伤和敲击痕迹的百分比落在实验模拟中记录的变化范围内，该模拟试图将人参素初次（早期）复制到完全肉体的ses体中。也有证据表明，食肉动物正在清除被人类素丢弃的骨头碎片。
