A study on the teeth of ancestors to humans that lived around 3.5 million years ago suggests they ate mainly or only plants.

Ever since Charles Darwin detailed the mechanism of evolution by means of natural selection in 1859, scientists have had a ...

Scientists suggest meat consumption was pivotal to humans' development of larger brains, but the transition probably didn't ...

Chemicals in the tooth enamel of Australopithecus suggest the early human ancestors ate very little meat, dining on vegetation instead.

"This method opens up exciting possibilities for understanding human evolution, and it has the potential to answer crucial questions, for example, when did our ancestors begin to incorporate meat ...

Australopithecus, our distant ancestors, primarily fed on plants. A recent study, published in Science, reveals that contrary ...

A study published in the Journal of Human Evolution found that chimpanzees select harder stones for nut-cracking tasks, similar to early human ancestors. This behavior suggests deep evolutionary ...
