Hunting art appeared 2 million years ago

The signs of an ancient slaughterhouse in Tanzania show that the ancient people grasped complex hunting techniques sooner than previously thought by experts.

Many scientists believe that prehistoric ancestors ate only meat from animals that died from natural causes or were lethal by lions, leopards and predators after being fed.

People have mastered hunting techniques from 2 million years ago

However, anthropologist Henry Bunn of the University of Wisconsin (USA) said that prehistoric people were able to ambush large flocks of animals after carefully selecting the target to kill, according to The Observer.

'We know people who have been eating meat for 2 million years ago,' Burn said before the annual conference on Human Evolution of the European Organization in Bordeaux (France).

'The unknown is the source of the meat. However, we compared meat produced by predators like lions and reported to the type of meat chosen by prehistoric humans. The results showed that men and women of that time could not take the leftover meat from a wild animal's cup or animal meat that had died from natural causes, ' explained Burn expert, ' They were choose and hunt the beast you want. '

This discovery rewrites the evolutionary history of humans in the hunting part of prehistoric people. Earlier, hunting evidence was found at an archaeological site 400,000 years ago in Germany.

With Burn's research, the time when humans began hunting was pushed back to about 2 million years ago.
