The earliest human ancestors weren't big meat eaters, according to new scientific research on their fossilized remains. #Australopithecus africanus—a bipedal primate that lived between 3.2 and 2 million years ago—were primarily vegetarians.

Three million years ago, our ancestors were vegetarian

Human ancestors like Australopithecus – which lived around 3.5 million years ago in southern Africa – ate very little to no meat, according to new research published in the scientific journal Science. This conclusion comes from an analysis of nitrogen isotope isotopes in the fossilized tooth enamel of seven Australopithecus individuals. The data revealed that these early hominins primarily relied on plant-based diets, with little to no evidence of meat consumption.
