Smarter from fire
“How has it been possible for us humans to develop such a densely packed brain?”
“Researchers believe it comes from our ancestors beginning to cook food,” Sætre says.
With fire, we could boil, fry, and grill our food. Animals do not have that opportunity.
“Cooked food is easier for the body to digest. So we humans could afford to develop a large and densely packed brain,” he says.
Our organs need food and energy for us to survive. Not just the brain.
“There are therefore limits to how much evolution can afford to use on intelligence,” he says. – Ingrid Schou (February 24, 2023)
Hey, they, they are getting somewhere when they admit that animals are not as smart as humans.
All the rest … Some of us are getting tired of the schtick that chimps are just like humans except that we are not helping them behave that way…
