From AI search:
Yes, early humans ate grass, likely starting around 3.5 million years ago. This diet switch may have occurred when early humans moved from trees to more open areas. Evidence

- Carbon isotope ratios: Carbon isotope ratios in the teeth of early hominins show that they ate a diet rich in grasses and sedges. Fossil evidence: Fossils of early humans' teeth show traces of tropical grasses.
- Grasses and sedges: Early hominins ate a diet of tropical grasses and sedges.
- More than baboons: Early hominins ate more grasses than savannah baboons.
- Diet shift: Early hominins may have switched from nuts and berries to grass when they stopped living in trees.
- Adapted to open terrain: Early hominins may have adapted their diet to living in more open terrain.
- Digestion: Humans have a hard time digesting grass because it contains lignin, a woody protein that's hard to break down.
- Mastication: Grass contains silica, which wears down teeth.
