If you’re cooking a meal for Thanksgiving or just showing up to feast, you’re part of a long human history—one that’s older than our own species.
NEW YORK—
“The story of human evolution has appeared to be the story of what we eat,” said Matt Sponheimer, an anthropologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder who has studied the diets of early human ancestors. Many were from a couple of species of big carp, and they were clustered around certain spots at the site—places where researchers also found signs of fire. Testing revealed the teeth had been exposed to temperatures that were hot, but not super-hot. This suggests the fish were cooked low and slow, rather than tossed right onto a fire, Zohar explained.
Based on how human ancestors’ brains and bodies developed, scientists estimate that cooking skills would have had to emerge nearly 2 million years ago.
