What animals did the early humans hunt for food?

How the early Human nut and got their food?

Well the simple answer is that they used weapon to hunt the animals but we always thought that the early humans are stupid but the truth is that they are actually very smart because of the weapons they used for hunting and another thing they did to hunt food was that back in the early days there was a group of people called hunter gatherers and what hunter gatherers are is that basically a group of people for example from villages (mostly man) would go out to hunt for food mostly everyday and then when any of them would get food they will bring it to the group of people that they are and then the would most probably share the food with the people. And mostly the weapons would be made out of stones and wood. Also an example of the weapons they used wear spears and bows made out wood and stones.

    The consumption of meats dates back to our ancient predecessors dwelling amongst the land and early Native American tribes. The earliest forms of hunters and gathers believed strongly in all an animal had to offer, even after it was deceased. Once an animal was hunted they used each part of the animal so its life was not wasted unnecessarily. According to the Native Languages of the America, “Whether they were farming tribes or not, most Native American tribes had very meat-heavy diets.” (Native Languages of the Americas, 2011) This heavily laden diet led to other uses of their animal kill such as shelter and clothing.…

    According to study, around 2.5 million years ago, humans abandoned their vegetarian habits and adopted a more omnivorous diet in the era of the genus Homo. In 1999, researchers were not sure whether the bite marks they found on 2.5 million year old animal bones were made by humans or not. Peter Ungar (2003) of the University of Arkansas made an analysis that concluded the bite marks were indeed from the first members of the Homo generation (1). Eating meat has developed into a necessary part of human culture over the course of the millions of years. Although, consuming meat also has a big impact on the environment.…

    Early hominid species could not advance due to their inability to innovate and adapt to different environments and situations (Stringer 35). Most were scavengers, and scavenged kills from big game animals. Early Modern Humans, as well as a few other species of human, developed the use of tools to facilitate activities, such as hunting. These early hominids would never be the same again, after gaining the use of tools. These early people now had a concentrated and nutritious food, which was meat and seafood. Now, without having to use all their energy to acquire their food, they could turn to other things and begin to evolve culturally. This meat, along with freeing up time, it released important metabolic resources. Our powerful digestive systems that were needed to process vegetation low in nutrition were freed of some of the rigors of their work (Stringer 35). This provided mothers with high quality food for the brains of their developing babies, and continuing brain food as those infants grew up. Apart from the meat, the fat and bone marrow, among other nutrients, that was being consumed was extremely easy to digest which permitted the development of smaller stomachs which used less energy. The surplus energy was then used to feed our…

    Anthropologists believe that the Stone Age people and hunter-gatherers relied on wildlife, both plants and animals, for their food. In fact, some species may have been hunted to extinction by early human hunters. Today, hunting, fishing, and gathering wildlife is still a significant food source in some parts of the world. In other areas, hunting and non-commercial fishing are mainly seen as a sport or recreation, with the edible meat as mostly a side benefit.[citation needed] Meat sourced from wildlife that is not traditionally regarded as game is known as bush meat. The increasing demand for wildlife as a source of traditional food in East Asia is decimating populations of sharks, primates, pangolins and…
