Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany and the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa analysed tooth enamel samples from seven prehistoric humans of the genus Australopithecus who lived in southern Africa about 3.5 million years ago .

The study suggests a largely or even exclusively plant-based diet, although the researchers cannot rule out the possibility that the prehistoric human occasionally consumed protein sources such as eggs or termites.
