Lights, camera, action! 🎬 Recently, our climate & geo-scientists @tinaluedecke.bsky.social, Jennifer Leichliter, Alfredo Martinez-Garcia joined SWR Wissen editor Pascal Kiss to discuss Tina’s latest paper on Australopithecus, a 3M-year-old ancestor. Meat or plants? Find out: tinyurl.com/3eb8kfs4

tinyurl.comMeat was not on the menu for human ancestor AustralopithecusThe incorporation of meat into the diet was a milestone for the human evolutionary lineage, a potential catalyst for advances such as increased brain size. But scientists have struggled to determine when meat consumption began and who did it.
