The Diet, Anatomy, and Ecological Niche of Hominins. Introduction The feeding habits, ecology, behavior, and anatomy of hominins are the primary focus of many primatologists’ studies. The relationship between a hominin’s diet, its home range, behavior, and anatomy allows paleontologists to understand their subjects. Diet is the basis of many differences that separate species, families, and genera. For extant taxa, the most reliable way of determining diet is observation (Ungar 205). For extinct taxa, it is the comparison of the characteristics of teeth found fossil assemblage with attributes of the dental formula of existing hominins (Ungar 205). Diet also influences the brain size of a primate. The consumption of high energy food such as meat facilitated the increase of brain size in hominins (DeCasien et al., 3). An organism’s diet is critical in determining its ecological niche. What a hominin feeds on determines how it interacts with the biotic and abiotic factors in its environment. Hypothesis. A primate’s diet corresponds with its dental morphology since the dental formula of hominins is designed to allow adequate consumption of its preferred food.…
