likely lived between 3.85 and 2.95 million years ago in Eastern Africa, which makes the small-statured creature one of the longest-living of the hominin family. The most famousA. afarensis
had a relatively small brain , they were the ultimate survivors, able to adapt to changes in their environment. In terms of diet,ate a wide range of plants, seeds, insects, sweet fruits, and the occasional small animal, such as lizards. With long arms, they could easily climb trees. However, they were also comfortable on the ground walking upright on two legs.
Neanderthals were particularly skilled at hunting big prey animals, which helped them evolve in colder climates. Their skills as hunters meant they ate a significant diet of meat, though they also were known to eat plants, and in some coastal regions, seals, fish, and mollusk., who lived between 1.89 million and 110,000,was among the first hominin species to fully adapt to life on the ground rather than in the trees. Their bodies reflected this change with longer legs and shorter arms .
Their diet was likely heavy in meat. Some anthropologists think the extra protein and calories were needed to help with brain size. They also possibly ate tubers and even honey. Another interesting feature ofwas the reduction of sexual dimorphism —females increased in size when compared to males of the species. One hypothesis for why the females increased in size is that this change was linked to the growing metabolic requirements needed to gestate and breastfeed babies with larger brains.
