Humans: The Cooking Ape, Dr. Richard Wrangham

It’s unfortunate that the video ends early :( I’ll look for other videos on your channel. It’s now 2023, so maybe you could invite him to present another full length lecture on this topic? Thanks

@32m Thank-you for making this point. I have been telling people that the human body isn't a calorimeter for years now. It is a chemical processing plant and while subject to all the laws of physics, creates emergent behaviors that don't have linear relationships with the simplistic mathematical formulae describing units of energy movement. Chemicals in, chemicals out. Not calories.

Audio was on one channel only and the video was missing the end of the very interesting lecture.

Did not realize the importance of this.

lack of exercise makes meat tender. Many Italians castrate roosters to reduce activity and increase tenderness. Also meat toughens with age so veal or baby sheep will be most tender.

As I learnt heat preparation of food made it possible for humans to get access to a much wider variety of food sources that had not only made us able to digest easier, but we could eat food that was otherwise difficult to eat, or eat even when food sources in their natural form were scarce, or harmful substances, pathogens in food could mean more threat. Therefore cooking provided humans to evolve in a much more even and undisturbed evolutionary pattern compared to many other species.

It's o.k. to eat canned food! Maybe it's even better.
