Most of us attempt to get more character in our diet — but we ’ll never get as much as some of our long - ago ancestors . Australopithecus sediba lived in Africa around two million years ago , and it look like their diet was unlike from any other ancient hominin ’s .
While most other species were jubilantly munching on grass andsedges , A. sediba ’s tastes endure more towards the foresty end of the spectrum . Through laser analytic thinking of carbon in the fossils ’ tooth , wear analysis , and try preserved food sherd still in their mouths , researchers believethe hominin ’s diet was far more Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree - linkedthan any other .
These analysis point to A. sediba feeding tree diagram , shrub , George H.W. Bush , barque , and wood . This is standardised to advanced chimpanzees , but stands in direct contrast to most other hominins . It adds another wrinkle to the query of where A. sediba remain firm in our evolutionary Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , as well as figuring out how we come in to develop our current , much less wooden , diet .
