Description Methods for reconstructing diet of taxonomical tribe hominini are based on the fossil record, which provides ecological context and can be compared with recent organisms and model situations. Each method highlights a bit of knowledge about the properties of the diet, which was located in a specific environment and utilized in a specific way and so about the properties of the bones, which were adapted for obtaining a specific diet. Method limitations for old and fragmentary specimens lead to complicated interpretations and often brings only general conclusions, nevertheless provides valuable information that gradually with advancing technologies reveals the history of our ancestors and the shaping of recent people.
