New research shows that ancient humans, Australopithecus, had a plant-based diet, challenging long-held meat-eating theories.

Long before humans acquired an appetite for meat, one of our earliest hominin ancestors — Australopithecus — stuck to a vegetarian diet. The ancient hominin, living in eastern and southern Africa ...

Ancient Humans Had a ‘Herbivorous’ Diet, Nitrogen in Fossils Revealed a Lack of Meat Consumption Recent examinations imply ...

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

Two underwater sea lilies were eaten and regurgitated around 66 million years ago. They were preserved as fossilized vomit.

This finding comes from the first direct proof what these ancient people ate. Researchers analysed the diet of a woman who lived 12,800 years ago. They used chemical clues found in the bones of ...

The work marks an important advance in researchers' ability to reconstruct ancient diets, because it involved developing a new method to look inside tooth enamel for evidence of eating meat.
