The first individuals of the Homo genus maintained effective strategies for obtaining food for 400,000 years and, although varied according to context, maintained a common pattern: early access to animal bodies and the ability to process them thoroughly.The entry The first humans kept thousands of years common patterns to achieve food was first published in Digital Process.
Foraging behavior in early humans
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences—A study* explores foraging behavior in early humans. High-quality foods, particularly meat, were key to the cognitive and social development of early humans of the genus Homo. To explore food acquisition strategies among early humans, Frances Forrest and colleagues analyzed a 1.6-million-year-old fossil assemblage from the Koobi Fora Formation... Read more »
