Baylor University Researcher Finds Earliest Archaeological Evidence of Human Ancestors Hunting and Scavenging

A recent study led by Baylor University assistant professor of anthropology Joseph Ferraro, Ph.D., provides new insights on the the vigorous debate among researchers over diet and food acquisition strategies of some the earliest human ancestors. Dr. Ferraro and his team found substantial archaeological evidence from the two million-year-old site of Kanjera South (KJS) in Kenya, Africa. indicating that around two million years ago, early stone tool-making humans, known scientifically as Oldowan hominin, began to manifest physiological and ecological adaptations that required greater daily energy expenditures, including an increase in brain and body size, heavier investment in their offspring, and significant home-range expansion.
