Do fly larvae feeding on human tissue raise the nitrogen isotope levels in hominins who eat them?
What the Evidence Shows
We analyzed the available evidence and found that fly larvae feeding on human tissue show unusually high levels of a specific nitrogen isotope compared to herbivores and carnivores [1]. If early humans consumed these larvae, their own nitrogen isotope levels could reflect that same elevation. No...
