Human Ancestors Ate Bark

Human Ancestors Ate Bark — Food in Teeth Hints at Chimplike Origins
Fossil find shows our forebears ate, and lived, experimentally, experts say.

Bits of food stuck in the two-million-year-old teeth of a human ancestor suggest some of our forebears ate tree bark, a new study says.

A first ever find for early human ancestors, the bark evidence hints at a woodsier, more chimplike lifestyle for the Australopithecus sediba species. Other so-called hominins alive at the time are thought to have dined mostly on savanna grasses.
