American archaeologists have found traces of human hunting, dating from the period of two million years BC. This is stated in the article, a group of scientists from Baylor University, published in PLOS ONE. Review Article found at the university.
Total in South Kanjera in Kenya, researchers found three well-preserved remains of a layer of slaughtered animals. In the burial archaeologists also found evidence that the representatives of the tribe.
The hominin were fed the remains of animals that kill other animals.The fact that in the diet of ancient people attended carrion par with captured in hunting meat, according to scientists, they say found the skeletons of antelope. Small skeletons ungulates were found in the burial of integers, while both the large survived only antelope skull.

The authors believe that the heads of large animals hominin found among the remains after the hunt other predators lions or hyenas. With stone tools ancestors of the people could open the skull and reach the brains of antelope which was beyond the power of ordinary predators.
The combination of hunting and processing of bone tools, say the researchers, helped early humans to expand their diet. Additional energy, according to a paper contributed to the physical and mental development of hominin representatives of the tribe and their subsequent migration in Africa.
The ability of human ancestors to develop various types of hunting, according to scientists, has played a key role in the survival of certain species of hominids.
