It turns out that our ancestors had a more efficient means of getting their daily nutrients: TigerNuts. According to a 2014 Oxford University study, "our ancient ancestors who lived in East Africa between 2.4 million and 1.4 million years ago survived mainly on a diet of TigerNuts." In other words, our ancestors did a lot less hunting and berry-picking than we've been led to believe. Up to 80% of
their diet was TigerNuts, small root vegetables found just inches underground. Oxford University concluded that "TigerNuts… provided a good source of nourishment....."
