The researchers examined the remains of a group of people found in a cave near Taforalt in northeastern Morocco. But they also ate wild plants such as beans, oats, pine nuts, pistachios and sweet acorns. The researchers noted the people from that time were dependent on wild plants. They did, however, harvest wild plants in season and store extra amounts to eat later if food was not easily available. But they did find that babies among the group began to eat plants sooner than scientists first thought.
