HALABELLA | The Evolution of Our Diet @halabella6 | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Our diet today is very different from the diets of our ancestors and some experts say modern humans should eat from a Stone Age menu. Is it true though? Let us find out. The diet of our ancestors has not been properly defined but it is obviously different from what our diet is today. Today, most humans are omnivores who eats many different types of food including fruits, grains, nuts, vegetables, tubers, meats and other animal products.
All these reflect approximately 6 million years of hominin biological and cultural evolution. Until agriculture was developed around 10,000 years ago, all humans got their food by hunting, gathering, and fishing. As farming emerged, nomadic hunter-gatherers gradually were pushed off prime farmland, and eventually they became limited to the forests of the Amazon, the arid grasslands of Africa, the remote islands of Southeast Asia, and the tundra of the Arctic.
While evidence of dietary shifts prior to the agricultural revolution is more difficult to find in the archaeological record, we can say that what allowed our ancestors to begin venturing new food were the cultural developments such as tools for hunting, collecting or processing food. They then slowly learned to tame fire and then started to cook with fire which softened the food and made it easier to chew.
