The Surprising Number of Vertebrate Species Consumed by Humans
It turns out that humans have been eating a lot more than just mammals and birds. A new study has found that humans have been eating many species of vertebrate animals, such as amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Researchers from the University of Zurich in Switzerland analyzed the remains of over 1,000 archaeological sites and discovered that humans have been consuming these animals for over 2 million years. This evidence suggests that humans have been eating a much wider variety of animals than previously thought. The findings also raise important questions about the impact that humans have had on the global biodiversity of today.
