  1.  @Leomoon101  African pastoralist groups will disagree with that statement.

  2. These stone tools are why we didn't need sharp teeth to be facultative carnivores

  3. I don't really buy the theory that cooked food is calorie saving. We ate raw bone marrow, brains, and meat. The difference in calorie content between cooked and raw meats is nil. There's no "heavy duty chewing" needed for raw meat. Ever tried sashimi or steak tartar? Its actually softer than cooked meat. Personally, I just scoop raw bone marrow out of the middle of bones and eat it. The better theory is that stone tools allowed us to grow bigger brains and bodies... and is supported by most scientists. This lines up with the fact that regular fire use comes much later. I'm not saying there are not any other benefits to fire. There are.

  4. What is the calorie content of steak tartar VS a well done cooked steak? Probably about the same. How about salmon sashimi vs cooked salmon? Same.

  6.  @Bogwedgle  I eat raw pasture raised beef, wild fish and fish eggs, raw oysters and other raw meats on a daily basis. There's certain parts like tendons which I boil down for soup, bones, and tongue that I cook. But on the whole, most raw animals are about as soft as cooked or softer. There's definitely parts of every animal that are chewier when raw, even in shellfish and stuff. However, some people like chewing something 30-60 times before swallowing. Modern hunter gatherer tribes chew more than us which aids in facial development. Generally when people go raw paleo / raw carnivore, cooking or light cooking is a pathogenic disease prevention matter rather than a way to unlock more calories.

  7. So if I eat 100% land mammals like beef, that is 'nothing like' how my homo sapiens ancestors ate? Lol okay I'll eat a bowl of fruit loops then.
