Edible Insects and Human Evolution

Researchers who study ancient human diets tend to focus on meat eating, since the practice of butchery is very apparent in the archaeological record. In this volume, Julie Lesnik brings a different food source into view, tracing evidence that humans and their hominin ancestors also consumed insects throughout the entire course of human evolution.

In acest volum, Julie Lesnik aduce in vedere o alta sursa de hrana, urmarind dovezi ca oamenii si stramosii lor hominin au consumat insecte de-a lungul intregului curs al evolutiei umane.
