Prebiotics in Ancient Diet While modern studies continue to expand our knowledge of the health benefits of prebiotics, virtually nothing is known of their use among ancient populations. Drawing on select ethnographic and archaeological data, examples of prebiotic use in ancient diet is presented. By utilizing well-documented cooking facilities found throughout the archaeological record of North America used to cook inulin-bearing plants as a proxy, prebiotic consumption is documented in Europe and the Mediterranean possibly as early as 40,000 years ago. Data is further provided to suggest that early members of the genus had ample ecological opportunity to include prebiotic underground storage organs found throughout the arid African savannah into diet as early as 2.5 million years ago.
