It would be more precise to say we evolved eating both cooked and raw food. Eating a combo of raw and cooked foods is generally best, particularly with foods that are easy enough to chew without cooking. In fact, eating so much cooked food as children is the reason so many people have crowded teeth. It causes the jaw to not grow as large, as the pushing of the tongue against the maxilla (during chewing) encourages the growth of the jaw.

Something I would have mentioned is that most of the fruits and vegetables we eat today have been bred, or are mutants, and are much more easily digestible compared to a lot of what our ancestors ate. Making cooking even more important in the past, than now.

Just wondering if you could have a look at the use of 'fire cracked rocks'' ie heated rocks dropped into bowls contains water/with food and also the history of ceramic cookable pots I've heard they may have found a 200000 year old one in Asia , also another subject could be possible plants when eating scrub and clean teeth just by eating them I noticed that spinach has this effect except when it is dressed with lemon, ps team up with primitive technology hahaha xoxo also maybe Atlantis was a city/island built out of reeds that was so successful because prehistoric animals were way scary!!! Do a vid on them too and you can do a vid last on the UFO landing pad/mechanic jack aka stone henge hahah cmon as if it's not the perfect shape for a flying saucer Just wanna say love your guys work and thank you for shining the light for some who might not understand how smart n lovely our ancestors were xoxo Lots of love from team vegan :P

Yeah obviously. but here he is going up our branch one by one. He'd have no reason to explore any species that broke off because they didn't become humans. So I don't know what your problem is

Also cooking allowed us to digest carbs like rice, wheat, maize and potatoes more easily, which are much more fattening than other foods

Interesting video as always I'm glad I found your channel :) But are we really the only species that can cook? By cooking if you meant preparing something to eat for yourself/family, there are honeypot ants and honeybees. Other than that, many apes use a twig to collect ants. I guess we can call that shish ants :D If we really broaden(is this a real word btw? Sorry, bad english) the term, every animal that stores food can be called practitioner of an ancient culinary skill(storing food is an important part of cooking) therefore they are kinda considered cooks. So dogs, squirrels, beavers etc. are animals that can "cook" in a very broad sense. Maybe you should do a video about interesting food practices of animals. I know this channel is focused on anthropology and history but some animal stuff might be cool :)

If we define 'cooking' as 'heating food ingredients using strong heat', humans are the only species which cook. Aside from anecdotes of hawks in Australia dropping burning twigs from bushfires near where small animals are so that said small animals would be cooked by the flames.

With the heat wave that is scortching Pacific North West and B. C. food is getting cooked on tree branches and seafood is caught pre baked, ready to eat. So there are ways to cook without fire. In North India there are hot water springs where I have boiled rice and eaten that cooked in running boiling water streams. They bake potatos in that water as well.

Interesting, thanks. Maybe use images of human females in future not just human males?

can meditation burn calories spot on

Yes. We are the only primates who cook food. HOWEVER, our ancestors overwhelmingly cooked roots, grains and seeds - not much meat or fish. Digging sticks were used to pry tubers, etc., from the ground. Sure, whilst using digging sticks our ancestors unearthed burrowing animals - smack on the head - and bunnies for dinner with your tubers, veggies and nuts. Gathering and cooking starches was far easier (immensely less calorie output) than 'hunting'. Plus, entire groups could bring babies and elders along to gather starches (disabled may have been left in camp to watch over older - weaned - children). Whilst other primates occasionally eat (raw) meat, we are the only ones to cook starches (complex carbs), which are an excellent source of glucose. Our brains still run on glucose and flesh is a very poor source of glucose :D Cooking starches, literally, made us human.

@drunkvegangal8089

4 жыл бұрын

PS - cooking starches also involves roasting - not necessarily cooing in a vessel (that came later). Burying tubers on the edge of a fire pit is the simplest way to cook food. No peeling, no grinding, and certainly, no hunting; hauling, butchering, skinning, piercing on a green twig and spinning over a flame or sizzling on a rock (which, logically, would attract omnivorous/carnivorous predators). One can gather, roast and eat a multitude of high-calorie, easily digestible, mainline-brain-glucose starches with little effort compared to hunting an animal. Starches are simple, nutritious, and easy. Granted; gathering carrion and scavenging meat is still easier than hunting animals but, aside of those lucky enough to live near fish-spawning waters (which were relativity few of us), gathering remains from another animal's kill meant very high competition for such leavings.

So babies are constantly trying to die.

There does remain some wisdom in spending at least 10% of the waking hours chewing foods by eating actual raw fruits instead of blending them into smoothies for example. There is a pleasure and gratification derived from the simple act of chewing. Men can verify that by chewing on the breast of wife or girlfriend. (or just watch lesbians go at it.). The kinesthetic input from the jaw movement and the associated salivary pour out are physiologically pertinent as well. There is pleasure derived out from the sound of chewing as well. A version of music to the ears. By rushing through the food ingestion process the level of satiety is diminished that leads to eating too frequently and also caloric dense food items which is driving the obesity epidemic. The curse of the FAST food industry which makes it too easy to eat while you drive.

Notice that the Bible NEVER speaks of us as "humans" it says we are "PEOPLE" So when People says we're just "Human beings"😠 maybe some but not All! Be blessed ❤
