How Cooking Made Us Human
Very interesting article with primatologist Richard Wrangham from Today's Science Friday.
Description from SciFri's website:
In Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human, primatologist Richard Wrangham argues that cooking gave early humans an evolutionary edge, leading to larger brains and more free time. Wrangham discusses his theory, and why Homo sapiens can’t live on raw food alone.
