Abstract

This review focuses on tracing the history of entomophagy practice since the time of ancient archaic humans and the development of this practice that persisted until today among ethnic communities, with particular reference to the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Insects as food is a trending research topic due to their potential as a future sustainable food. Until the mid-nineteenth century, the tribal population of Arunachal Pradesh was largely isolated, though the practice of eating insects prevailed among the majority of its tribal groups. Only in recent times has the need for alternative food resources, due to the impact of globalization, climatic crisis, and resource depletion worldwide, pushed for scientific exploration, which is gaining momentum. The history of anthropo-entomophagy and its sociocultural significance is explored in this study. The present paper also describes the ongoing scientific exploration toward the value of edible insects as neutraceutical, entomoceutical, and pest control tools historically being used by Apatanese and the prospect of these edible insects for the tribe in the future.

阿鲁纳恰尔邦阿帕塔尼部落昆虫食性的历史记载:现状和未来趋势
这篇综述的重点是追溯自远古古人类时代以来昆虫食性习俗的历史,以及这种习俗在各民族社区中一直延续至今的发展情况,尤其是印度阿鲁纳恰尔邦阿帕塔尼部落的情况。由于昆虫具有作为未来可持续食物的潜力,因此昆虫作为食物是一个热门研究课题。直到十九世纪中叶,阿鲁纳恰尔邦的部落人口基本上与世隔绝,尽管吃昆虫的习俗在大多数部落群体中盛行。只是到了近代,由于全球化、气候危机和全球资源枯竭的影响,人们需要替代性食物资源,这推动了科学探索的发展,而且探索的势头越来越猛。本研究探讨了人类食蚁兽的历史及其社会文化意义。本文还介绍了阿帕坦人对可食用昆虫作为中药、内药和害虫控制工具的价值正在进行的科学探索,以及这些可食用昆虫在未来为该部落带来的前景。
