Document Summary
Food & ancient hominins structure and shape of teeth. We can learn a lot about ancient hominins and their food habits through their teeth; the size, Cut marks on animal bones; butchering sites (ex. A whole pile of animals that have been slaughtered by early homo species); you can find cut marks that did not naturally occur from erosion etc. 99% of human history shows us as foragers; there was no agriculture (no planting food for consumption) and no domestic animals. Never in a place for longer than a year: fairly egalitarian (everyone is equal) there is little to no conflict as there are no. Foraging/hunting and gathering is referred to as a subsistence strategy a primary means of the seasonal availability of foods distinctions in status getting food. Changes in diet have been hailed as key milestones in human evolution.
