After we learned to control fire, and began to hunt game and cook and eat meat, we were able to ingest food with a much higher caloric value - less expenditure for a higher energy return. This allowed protohumans to develop larger brains, especially the frontal lobe, which allowed for language development and also increased leisure time to develop the social system and pursue higher thought systems. |
she blocked me lol but for anyone else reading this. People before fire, did not need to cook meat to eat it. They ate it raw, just fine. We hunted game and ate meat and ingested food with a much higher caloric value long before fire came along, and long after.
