Did cooking make us human?

I am often in search for hearing conversation that debates the issue of the benefits of eating raw vs. eating cooked.  Richard Wrangham, a primatologist from Harvard has found several links to how Humans evolved from early primitive species.  Listen to this interview and hear him compare raw food and cooked food.  He looks at digestibility, absorption, energy and convenience of each way of eating.  Learn more about his argument by reading his book:  Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human.

He concludes from his findings that diet (raw vs. cooked) “is very personal”… I LOVE THAT… reinforces my belief in bio-individulaity:  one person’s food is anothers perosn’s poison.
