The Cooking Ape Question 1

Wrangham stated that how early humans were looked indicates that our food had to be more digestible than just raw meat.  By making this first link Wrangham was casually suggesting that these early humans had to cook to be able to eat their prehistoric foods.  He also stated that the way our bodies are formed is primarily shaped by what we eat.  Wangham then provides us with a time period in which he believes our bodies began to change as a result of a change in how we ate.  Wangham followed this estimate by talking about how long ago humans mastered fire, which happened to be around the same time that human quickly evolved.  By putting these two dates together the reader was able to see the connection by themselves.
