1. 1. The Evolution Of Hominin Diets

   Integrating Approaches to the Study of Palaeolithic Subsistence

   

   An interdisciplinary synthesis of evidence from archaeology, taphonomy, zooarchaeology, dental wear, and stable isotopes to trace how hominin diets shifted from opportunistic foraging to increasingly high-quality, protein- and fat-rich resources over the Pliocene and Pleistocene. It examines the rise of meat and marrow consumption, plant food diversification, and the transformative roles of stone tools, cooking, and food processing. Comparative case studies highlight ecological flexibility across regions, differences between Neanderthals and early modern humans, and the exploitation of coastal and freshwater resources. The work links subsistence strategies to brain energetics, life history, mobility, and social organization, illuminating the evolutionary feedbacks between diet and human biology.
