New light cast on fishing throughout history

• A new study has revealed new insights into ancient fishing throughout history, including what type of fish people were regularly eating as part of their diet.
• The study looked at fish bones unearthed in an archaeological dig on the Indonesian island of Alor -- home to the world's oldest fish-hooks ever found in a human burial site, dating back to about 12,000 years.
• People on Alor people were fishing for open water species about 20,000 years ago, then about 7,000 years ago they started to fish exclusively for reef dwelling species.
