Performed by Kevin Pariseau.
Primatologist Richard Wrangham argues that "cooking" created the human race. At the heart of "Catching Fire" lies the idea that the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labor.

Surprising, different, and interesting point of view on the evolution of humans submitted by jcnnifer on August 15, 2019, 10:06pm This book dives into a different theory about how humans evolved - through the use of fire. It opened my mind about factors that truly transformed humans into who we are today. Great style of writing too!
