Research Reveals Australopithecus africanus Primarily Had Vegetarian Diet, Consuming Little Meat 3 Million Years Ago
Jan 19, 2025, 10:35 AM
Recent research indicates that Australopithecus africanus, an early human ancestor, primarily followed a vegetarian diet, contradicting previous assumptions about their eating habits. The study suggests that these hominins consumed little meat, providing direct evidence of their position in the local food web over 3 million years ago. This new understanding highlights the dietary preferences of one of humanity's earliest ancestors and sheds light on the evolutionary history of human diets.
