Experts think early humans ate grass

Before now, it was thought our ancestors preferred hard nuts and seeds because of their big grinding teeth and powerful jaw muscles.
But after studying fossils of their teeth, scientists have found traces of tropical grasses.
They say humans could have switched from eating nuts and berries to grass when they stopped living in trees.
It means our earliest relations could have had a diet like modern-day savannah baboons, which also feed on African grassland.
Lead scientist Professor Julia Lee-Thorp, from Oxford University, said: "We found evidence suggesting that early hominins, in central Africa at least, ate a diet mainly comprised of tropical grasses and sedges." (CBBC Newsround)
Djokovic beats Federer to win ATP World Tour Finals

It's the second time Djokovic has won at the ATP World Tour Finals, which sees the world's top 8 tennis players face eachother.
The champ dedicated his win to his dad, who's seriously ill at the moment.
He needed two hours and 14 minutes to take two sets in a match full of dramatic moments at London's O2 Arena.
'Thrilled'
"I was just trying to hang in
there," said Djokovic.
"It's not the first time that
Roger started so well against me. I've experienced before his aggression, really
trying to put his mark on the match." He added: "Whenever I needed to come up with some really good shots - really focus myself and get every ball back in the court - I did that, so I cannot be more thrilled than now." (CBBC Newsround)
Total solar eclipse expected over Australia

It happens when the Moon sits between the Earth and the Sun, plunging parts of the world into complete darkness.
The best place to see it will be Queensland, which will see a total eclipse.
That means people there will be able to see the Sun completely covered by the Moon for just over two minutes, which is extremely rare.
But other places like New Zealand and eastern Indonesia will be able to see a partial eclipse too.
You need a clear day to see it, so tens of thousands of people gathering in Australia are hoping for good weather.
Confused animals
Some animals can sometimes
behave in strange ways during a solar eclipse.
Experts say birds can fall
asleep, because when it goes dark, they think it's night time!Scientists will also be using underwater cameras at the Great Barrier Reef to capture sea creatures' reactions to the strange event. (CBBC Newsround)
