A study by the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), a joint centre of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), uses genomic analyses to reconstruct insect consumption from 9,000 to more than 102,000 years ago. Research, published in Science Advances, suggests that insect consumption was sporadic and accidental in Europe, Central and East Asia, while it would have been more frequent in tropical regi…
