Answer:Earliest Evidence of Human Hunting Found. Homo erectus, an ancestor to modern humans, arose at least 1.8 million years ago. ... Animal bones and thousands of stone tools used by ancient hominins suggest that early human ancestors were butchering and scavenging animals at least 2 million years ago.

Explanation:

FISH may have formed an important part of the diet of our earliest African

ancestors, adding another dimension to the hunting and gathering lifestyle

envisaged by palaeontologists.

Kathlyn Stewart of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa has reviewed the

availability of fish between one and two million years ago, the fishing

techniques of animal species and modern Africans, and the existence of fish

remains at early hominid sites. She concludes that fish could have provided

early humans with an important source of protein and fat when other food was

in short supply (Journal of Human Evolution, vol 27, p 229) especially in the

dry season when mammals were undernourished and underweight.

Fishing has largely been neglected as a feature of the early hominid way of

life, probably because of the lack of hard evidence in the form of relevant

tools. However, Stewart suggests that the hominid fishers would not have

needed elaborate harpoons, fishhooks or other fishing paraphernalia. She

points out that hyenas, leopards, baboons and a variety of other mammals

occasionally catch fish without the benefit of technology. And traditional

African fishers today sometimes scoop fish up by hand.

Several common African freshwater fish are easy to catch, especially at

certain times of year. The best catching times would have been when fish

congregated to spawn in shallow water during the rainy season, and when they

were stranded in pools during the dry season. Stewart notes that fat reserves

in some fish increase towards the end of the dry season, just before spawning,

which makes them especially nutritious.

Hence this was a big evidence about earliest human being
