Humans Have Butchered the Evolutionary Process for Millions of Years
In a new study, researchers have discovered evidence that humans have been butchering animals for meat for over two million years. The study, conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Washington and the University of Utah, looked at bones from ancient hominins and found that they had been cut and broken in ways that suggested they had been used for meat consumption. This is the earliest evidence of humans using tools to cut up animals for food, and suggests that the use of tools for meat-eating has been an important part of our evolutionary history. By understanding how our ancestors used tools to butcher animals, we can gain insight into how tools and meat-eating shaped the evolution of our species.
