There are numerous difficulties in detecting and understanding the ancient diet of human ancestors. The Paleolithic begins around 2.6 million years ago and ends only around 12,000 years ago with the onset of the Holocene and Neolithic. The enormous time scale, variable environments inhabited by human ancestors and issues with preservation ...
Stone tools found at the Shangchen site in China and dated to 2.12 million years ago are considered the earliest known evidence of hominins outside Africa, surpassing Dmanisi hominins found in Georgia by 300,000 years, although whether these hominins were an early species in the genus Homo or another hominin species is unknown.

Haikouichthys, a jawless fish, is popularized as one of the earliest fishes and probably a basal chordate or a basal craniate. [72] Ferns first appear in the fossil record about 360 million years ago in the late Devonian period. [73] Synapsids such as Dimetrodon were the largest terrestrial vertebrates in the Permian period, 299 to 251 million ...

The Virgin Galactic 03 space trip included some fossilized remains of ancient human relatives Australopithecus sebida and Homo naledi.
When comparing vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore diet types, researchers found that food quality and diversity may have the biggest impact on the health and structure of the gut microbiome.
[24] [25] The oldest H. habilis specimen, A.L. 666-1, dates to 2.3 mya, but is anatomically more derived (has less ancestral, or basal, traits) than the younger OH 7, suggesting derived and basal morphs lived concurrently, and that the H. habilis lineage began before 2.3 mya. [26] Based on 2.1-million-year-old stone tools from Shangchen, China ...
